ETC (everything that counts) regional magazine analyse 


Front Page 

with the front page of ECT we have an main image of a house which looks like it been prepared for christmas. this gives the reader an indication of whats going to be in the magazine. Also from looking at the house we can gather what target audience that ETC are trying to attract with there magazine. the house in question looks like it from someone in the higher middle class area on the social ladder; someone who has a lot of disposable income. 

There not a lot on this front cover with only one side story which of corse is a pun ''we've got your Christmas wrapped up'' using the word you to get the reader involved with the magazine.  in the bottom right hand corner we have a pug with a competition to ''win a 4 night cruise'' which again highlights a certain target audience which this competition will appeal to. 


2nd Page 

Here we have an advert for the shopping place Dalton park. hence that this magazine is mostly about shopping we can say  that the target audience is going to be aimed more for a women perspective than a mans; so advertising that the shopping park will be open for longer is very good at attracting the female audience as they stereotypically like shopping. 

3rd Page 

We have the editor letter on the side and next to that we just have images from the articles within the magazine. Its all easy and clear to read and gives the reader an insight in to what they might want to read into.
They have used a background which has snow flakes in the background to bring across the idea of this magazine been about Christmas and Christmas shopping. 


4th Page 

As this magazine is about Christmas shopping there not really any articles in here but I was thinking of doing a what to ware at college article and I can maybe use how this magazine set up there pages in displaying the clothing in the same way. The way that they set it out is that each page is dedicate to either the male or the female with gift ideas for them. But even with the gifts on offer its quite expensive which again shows the target audience to be higher upper middle class.
