I chose to analyse MOJO magazine. These aren't part of the same issue as I couldn't find a whole magazine on the internet, but they are all MOJO. I chose this magazine because it follows the same sort of genre and culture (rock) as my magazine.
Type: The type of text is a magzine. The codes is uses are image, still graphic image and written language.
Audience: The target audience is men over the age of 25. It is aimed at people from a middle class background/with well paid jobs. It is designed for people who have a strong passion for music and often people who collect old types of music.
Purpose: It's purpose is to entertain. It can give a pleasure of escapism because it looks into people's interests and the lives of famous artists. It can also be informative as it will give updates on the latest music news. It could make the audience feel amused and even slightly envious, as they would like to be like the people they see in the magazine.
Effecctiveness: This is very effective because MOJO refer to themselves as 'the world's largest UK music magazine' and they have circulations in the high thousands every year.

The thing about this magazine that I will use in mine is the way they interview in their double page spread. I think this is really good idea because it lets the reader get to know the artists they may listen to every day. I also like the way their layout for the contents page as it looks neat yet intersting as it has photo's along with text. By doing this I learnt more about how magazines are constructed and what techniques they use to follow typical conventions.
