When doing secondary research, researchers use and analyse data from primary research sources. Primary - the information is obtained first hand.

Secondary - information that was obtained by someone else.

imagery - in a football magazine you most commonly would expect the magazine too have bright aesthetic colours, pictures of footballers, maybe football boots, stadiums of big football clubs and gear that most footballers use such as shin pads or the football club kits.

Colour palette - in a football magazine you will probably see bright colours or colours that match the main clubs colours on the front cover

Typography - In a football magazine you most commonly see typography as short snappy words, lines or paragraphs used to gain the readers attention and draw it to the information it holds. and contains, it also uses large headlines and mastheads to gain readers attention.

Lexis - The lexis used in a football magazines are emotive words and simple language to gain emphasis towards the magazine's headlines and simple language suitable for young audiences reading the magazine.

Topics of articles - Topics of articles are articles that cover different topics, occasionally seen in football magazines conveying a plethora amount of topics relating to the football genre.

Magazines

• Popular, Praised, Cool, Amazing
• Gender is presented in this magazine as men as the more preferred gender, or the more popular gender when it comes to terms of football, this is. evident as they show more male characters then they do female, this is to add more attention to the football genre as most of the fanbase for football is seen mostly as men over women.
• Age is represented as giving older people more of the spotlight as they are seen as more professional and take their job seriously compared to a few youngsters who may seem like they don't really take the job as seriously as other younger ages.
• ethnicity is represented as irrelevant as the publisher believes in equality of all races no matter how they look.
• Sports is represented as important to specific audiences as it keeps the reader updated with the different things that have been going on in the footballing world.
