The analysis of my chosen music magazine front covers

The image used on this magazine cover is very up, close and personal. We are able to look the person right in the eye which catches the attention of the reader. This angle of gaze makes readers feel almost obligated to pick up the magazine and start reading. The facial expression gives of the tone of the magazine also: hard, edgy and raw.
            
The limited colours used helps to give this magazine a theme. The large amount of red makes it appear more dangerous and lethal. This is also symbolised through the bold font.
           
The layout of this front cover is very structured with text on the sides and through the middle. It enables readers to focus on one coverline or caption at a time. And its use of incentive persuades readers further.    



This mid shot image brings a more of a cheerful and joyful tone to the magazine. This will therefore attract a lot of joyous people, which may not be advisable as there is a wider audience to be attracted.

            The colours used are limited with pink, yellow, white and black but shouts out to the reader which catches their eye. Some would say it’s too much but some would say it’s just right.

The layout of this front cover is quite disorderly. There’s a lot of overlapping text and images, making it difficult for the reader to structure their reading. The use of incentives such as ‘how to pull a popstar’ and the pull quotes do entice the reader 



The image for this front cover gives of that sophisticated and sassy look, with her hands on her hips and her poise. Her straight angle of gaze draws the reader in and entices them.

The colour scheme creates a classy look for the front cover. Very limited but appealing. The use of black and red add a subtle sexual feel which will attract many.           

The layout for this magazine is very limited and structured. It lures you in with all the incentives such as advice, fashion tips and interview with other celebs.
