Secondary teachers magazine cover.

This magazine cover is from a magazine with the audience of secondary school and college teachers.
The magazine is designed so that when you open the front and back cover they are both like front cover, half for girls and half for boys. This is because the aim of the magazine is to figure out if boys and girls learn differently. They have done the front covers like this because it shows that the magazine is equally aimed half at girls and half at boys not more on one than the other.

The language of this magazine is chosen carefully for both the boys and the girls. On each of the covers it says 'do boys and girls learn differently?' next to the main picture. However the writing on the side for the boys is in blue and the writing on the side for the girls is in pink. This shows that there is a difference between boys and girls and that they could learn differently just by the colours that they have chosen to use. They have chosen to use these colours because they are the stereotypical colours that people think of for both girls and boys. However also on the front cover it says plus free student cookbook. What they have done on this is where is says 'plus' they have put it in pink on the boys side and in blue on the girls side, this indicates that there is also a chance that boys and girls are the same and could learn the same rather than differently.

The title of the magazine cover is secondary teachers and it is the same on each side of the cover which could also be an indication that they are both the same. On the side of the cover which is for boys the boy has his hand in the air as if he is going to answer a question. Whilst his hand is in the air it is covering the C in the word secondary. As his hand is covering his arm is shaped in curve like a C so it is almost like his arm is replacing the C which involves him more in the cover because he has also become part of the title.

As the boy is answering the question he looks enthusiastic about answering and the girl is looking over at him which a smirk on her face. This connects both of the covers together so that the audience knows that it is both the same story not two different ones even though half is on the front of the magazine and half is on the back of the magazine.

Even though there are many things different about the magazine covers indicating a difference there are also things that are the same. However they are things that aren't as noticeable to the audience if they are just scanning at the covers such as the writing at the top which tells you about other things in the magazine. The main focus that catches the audience's eye on a front cover is usually the title and the picture, but the other stuff they do notice as well even if they don't particularly take it in, this shows that even though there is obvious differences there are also some things that are the same between girls and boys.
