After looking at this magazine, I would say that it is aimed at people aged 20 and above, especially as it uses
sophisticated language and contains photos of only adults, that are obviously interested in classical music.
The colours that are mainly seen on the magazine are blue, white, red and black. The picture of the man playing the piano is clearly the centre of visual interest as the writing is placed around him and he fills up quite a lot of the page. The title is in sans serif, and so is the most of the text on the page apart from some areas of the page where the text is just serif.
The features you would most likely expect to see in these magazines are pictures, reviews, interviews, advertisements etc..
The magazine addresses the reader using formal language and persuasive texts to advertise certain products. Alliteration is also used, such as 'picture perfect' and 'backing beecham' to draw the reader in.
The images in the magazine are mainly pictures of people holding instruments, portraits or pictures from a photo-shoot. They look as if they have mainly been taken in symphony halls and music studios, representing the people as classical instrument players, which suit the magazine perfectly.
The contents page is very simple and sophisticated looking, especially as it is all in monochrome, and the writing is displayed in column, showing the name of the page with a quick insider to what is is about underneath. Photos are also displayed on the right hand time of the page with the title of the magazine at the very top of it.
This magazine is part of the BBC, which is also involved in Haymarket consumer, a way of segmenting the audience, to make money.
Classical Magazine - Classic FM
Again I would say that this magazine is also aimed at people aged 20 and above, and obviously people that are interested in classical music. I think this because of the same reasons as before, the writing is again quite sophisticated and all the images are of adults.


The kind of features included in this magazine are interviews with classical music players, Cd advertisements, DVD rates and music guides.

The images in included in this magazine are mainly pictures of classical music players, posing in photo-shoots or playing instruments. It is made obvious that the people are associated with classical music as they are always dressed smartly and are either holding instruments or are standing in a music studio or symphony hall.
Evidence of a clearly proficient level of research into the forms and conventions of similar products but lacking detail in the analysis of specific features of font, language, pictures or design features.
