Tv listings Evaluation.

Our task was too design and create our own tv listings magazine front cover based on the research we did. We researched three other tv listing magazines (tv choice radio times and tv quick.)
I choose to design a lower class magazine around the price to 99p- £1.00. I got my ideas from TV choice and analysed to my best ability.
The reason why I choose this sort of class magazine was because, this magazine would catch my eye in a shop because it would be something that I would read myself, as it don’t look boring and crowded its spreaded around. The main feature of my magazine was ‘The only way is essex’ which is a very popular hit on the itv2 channel and has had a lot of hits I also used dark colours, and contrasting colours too catch the readers eye, however, I didn’t use bright, bold colours, because I think they make the magazine look cheap I also used a lot of shadowing and bold text. On a copy of tv choice there was a lot of picture and borders of text including what else is on television in the week, I used this idea and added it to my front cover as I found it very effective.
