Geek’s masthead follows the codes and conventions of a magazine by taking up the full width of the page and being positioned at the top of the page so it can be seen. Because of this the masthead is the biggest writing on the cover and draws in the attention of the reader. Geek’s masthead is big, bold and straight to the point.
Geek uses a pun and a double meaning where by the cover image and the headline are linked well together. The cover image shows the main character getting a baby out and the headline says ‘Seth Rogen Delivers’ by actually meaning he has delivered in two successful films; this technique is used to get them interested and lure the readers in.
Geek follows the codes and conventions of magazines by placing a barcode and by displaying issue information and the price.
The house style colours of red, blue, black and white will appeal more to a male audience. In addition, the magazine has texts about ‘Superhero’s, ‘tech,’ ‘obsession’, and ‘birds’ which targets a young male audience of ages 16-29.
A simple feel is given to the magazine through its graphics. For example the serif font used for the headline ‘Seth Rogen Delivers’ is very plain as the font has nothing inside it. This front cover is colourful in certain parts, especially on each side which gets attention at a quick glance.
