The TV Choice logo is

replicated for each cover

and is always positioned in
the top left hand corner. A
shadow effect is
implemented on the white
lower case font which sits
on a red, circular textbox
to create a bold and standout effect. I must replicate
this style, positioning and
size to make the magazine
recognisable for the
audience.

Both copies contain three stories at the

bottom of the cover which are presented
with a colourful/stand-out effect such as
curved outlined outlines, pointed outlines
and shadow effects. All the stories have
titles overlapping the images in contrasting
colours for each, such as orange for black
mirror and pink for Coronation Street.
The stories featured on the front cover are
mainly soap operas Eastenders and
Coronation Street (titled corrie on these
front covers), reality TV shows and
occasional ly dramas (e.g. Black Mirror).
This makes TV choice a great pick to

The photography overlaps

the TV Choice logo to
create a 3-dimensional
effect; experimenting with
depth on the cover makes it
more visually engaging. I

depth in the layout for my

photography at the bottom
of the cover, advertising
different TV shows.

The tagline accompanying the

main stories is massively
identifiable as the TV Choice
brand as they often use the
extreme stand-out colours of
red and yellow font and
background, as seen with these
two copies. The keywords of
the tagline are capitalised and
exclamation marks are used for
a dramatic effect. In terms of
positioning, the tagline runs
across the width of the cover
and in both cases sits just
beneath the centre of the page.
