task 2: teasers

today we looked at different magazine teasers, I looked at GQ magazine, ELLE magazine and OK magazine.

 This magazine has teasers on the left hand side. They show part of the story that are in the magazine, but not the full story, they are there to make people want to buy the magazine to read the full story.  The way teasers are written are in the least amount of words possible. The teaser in the middle which is bigger than the rest, most probably because it is the most important or the best story they have got in the magazine, it has more information that the rest because it has bullet points about the story but still does not give away the full story, you can also tell because the size of the font is the same size as the masthead.  The other teasers at the side are secondary teasers. This magazine has 4 teasers and they all have pictures of who it is about.
                                                               ELLE magazine has a lot of teasers on the front which are all a similar size this could mean there is no main teaser or secondary teasers, although there is a picture of a celebrity on the front and her name is written in a teaser in bold, this could be the main teaser but as there are about 10, it is hard to tell. This magazine is cluttered with a lot of words and a lot of teasers, 2 of the teasers are even written in between the letters of the masthead. This magazine looks more of a fashion magazine more than a gossip magazine, OK magazine looks more like a celebrity gossip magazine because it is a paparazzi’s picture on the front and not a photo

This magazine is kind of a mix between both of the above magazines; this has 6 teasers on the front, and the main teaser is about Harry Styles from the boy band One Direction, you can tell this is the main teaser because there is a picture of him on the cover as the main image and the name ‘HARRY’ is wrote in capital letters almost as big as the masthead. This magazine is not as cluttered as ELLE magazine but has more teasers than OK magazine, I think this one looks more appealing than OK magazine as the photo on the front is clearly from a photo shoot whereas the photo on that one looked like a paparazzi picture, which does not look as professional.
