               The colour scheme is bright pink and black and white. The pick helps to emphasise the target

and the use of a massive celebrity
and musician to endorse the fact
will help.



    Target Audience
    I think that the target audience would be 18- 30 year old females because it is endorsed by a hugely successful young female singer but the colour
    scheme and image its self is grown up. I think unlike the NME front cover using Rihanna, it is more towards an older target audience because it
    does not use bright feminine colours. It could also appeal to males as well because even though its uses a female image, the colour scheme has
    colours that you would associate with men such as red and black. Also the puffs talk about artists such as Liam Gallagher and U2 who are both
    male musicians and have a majority male fan base.

the bottom right corner.
                                                                                                                 then the reader would think that

              Colour Scheme                                                                                      significant.
              The colour scheme is different to the NME cover because it does not have any colours that are
              associated with females even though the main image is of Adele. I like the bold red black and white
              colour scheme as it makes the page more grown up helps to tell this is a Q magazine with just a quick
              glance. The red and black colours are stereotypical of males so this may mean they are trying to
              appeal to men as well as woman.

                                                  Images
Masthead                                          The image is of a world wide celebrity
Because the name of the magazine is               Jay Z who is a ‘rapper’ and a big
long then it spreads across all the way           influence on RNB and rap music. He
across the top and is situated at the             looks like he is showing off his wealth by
very top of the page. Even though the             wearing a nice suit and showing his big
masthead is layered behind the main               diamond ring. Jay Z may influence if a
image, you can still read it and                  person buys the magazine or not
recognise it and it helps to make the             because he is very influential in the
image stand out.                                  music scene and very well known.


Puffs
The puffs have considerably big
fonts and fits in with the colour
scheme. They are advertising the
important articles in the magazine
and help to entice the reader to
read more such as ‘The ten best
new bands’. Unlike the NME and                    Headline
Q magazine there is another puff                  The headline is emphasising the
on the other side of the page, this               image on the front which is ‘Jay-
could be to fill the blank space                  Z’. It also stands out from the
and they want to highlight that                   rest of the text because it is in a
puff in particular as it is one on its            big bold font and filled blue
own.                                              which stands out from the grey
                                                  and white background.

                                                                                                               looking very stern. He is also
                                                                                                               giving eye contact but he ahs a
                                                                                                               straight face and looking
                                                                                                               intimidating.




Layout
The layout works well because
the image is centred in the middle                                                                             Colour Scheme
and the puffs are situated around                                                                              The colour scheme is more
it. This is a good use of the space                                                                            sophisticated because it uses
and there is also a good use of                                                                                ‘bland’ colours of grey and uses
layering. The layering makes the                                                                               colours associated with males like
image of the celebrity stand out                                                                               blue and red which fits in with the
because it is in front of the                                                                                  image. The grey also relates to the
masthead and makes it stand out                                                                                image because he is wearing a grey
from the page and makes it more                                                                                suit, so it helps the image and page
life like.                                                                                                     fit in together. The colour scheme
                                                                                                               seems to be used to attract the
                                                                                                               male audience rather than female.




   Target Audience
   The target audience of this cover would be for males from about 16-30 because the cover is endorsed by a huge celebrity who is to do with rnb
   and rap which is mainly listened to by the younger audience. Rap is also very stereotypical of males and what Jay Z is wearing is very sophisticated
   and the colour scheme is bland which may target a older male audience as well.

Research into music magazines front cover analysis

  • 1. Music Magazine Research
  • 2. Masthead NME Front Cover Analysis Images It is the title of the magazine and The image covers the whole page and the uses an unique and large font to use of a dull background helps to make make sure it is eye-catching. It is the image stand out. The picture is of also pink which fits in with the Rihanna who is a musician and global colour scheme and helps it tie in superstar. In the image she is wearing with the rest of the page. make up that fits in with the colour scheme, this makes the photo not feel out Puffs of place. She is also making direct mode of The subheading is using the address which may help in the person to same font and colour as pick up and take a closer look. the mast head and headline. This makes it stand out but is a smaller Headline size font. This anchors the meaning of the image The use of a list of famous and in this case it is to say that this is an musicians/bands helps to image of ‘Rihanna’. The font is large and fill up more space but does bright, the same as the masthead as it is not need to have much to catch the readers eye. Having the information. Listing headline in the middle of the page is a musicians/bands will help clever use of layout as it is where the in the marketing of the viewers eyes would be drawn to. magazine as they will Layout appeal to fans of the I think that using an image that fills the page and musician/ band. centred makes the cover more attractive. The use of the headline in the centre helps in marketing the magazine as it catches the persons eye and the fact that it is using a global superstar Target Audience ‘Rihanna’ then it will attract people to pick up I would say that the target audience would be aimed at females aged between 16-25. This is the magazine and potentially buy it. I think the because it uses a worldwide famous celebrity who is female, current and in her early 20’s, so puffs are cleverly placed as they do not obstruct would appeal to the younger adult. It uses a bright pink, white and black colour scheme so the the image very much and therefore not taking pink would be associated with females but the black and white makes the page feel more grown away the impact of the image. up so would not appeal to a younger audience.
  • 3. NME Front Cover Analysis Continued Unique Selling Point The heading next to the masthead is the USP of this magazine as it is saying that this is the Body Language 4 of 10 special edition covers which is The body language of Rihanna seems unique. It could entice people to buy that very informal as she is leant over and magazine as it would be a collectible and hand on her hip which makes her seem could be part of the collection. quite relaxed. Also she has quite a straight face which makes her look like she is bored to some extent. Both her pose and facial expression makes her seem ‘rebellious’ and this may appeal to the audience. Barcode and price The barcode fits in with the codes and convention of a magazine as it is Mode of Address located in the bottom right hand The NME cover seems to be an informal corner. The price seems to be above mode of address because of the bright the masthead which is different to pink bold font of the masthead and most magazines but from my headings. Rihanna is also has a laid research it can be located above or back attitude and also is colourful. below the masthead as well as with the barcode. Colour Scheme The colour scheme is bright pink and black and white. The pick helps to emphasise the target audience because it is bright and the colour is associated with females. The black and white helps to make the page more sophisticated and therefore not for the younger audience. There is also a hit of blue from the picture which helps in making the page more colourful and less formal.
  • 4. Q Front Cover Analysis Images Masthead The image of Adele is a nearly a close up It is the title/logo of the magazine. It is which is different to the normal larger that any other text on the cover conventions of a magazine as normally it and the red box behind it helps it to would be a mid close up. The fact that stand out and be eye-catching. she has got a really pale complexion fits in with the red and white colour scheme and she is making eye contact ( direct Puffs mode of address) which will help in The puffs are situated on the left catching the readers eye. hand side of the page and does not obstruct the main features of the image. The colour and font of the text fits in with the colour scheme and include information about the main articles in the magazine. One puff is in a circular Headline gold filled shape and uses a This anchors the meaning of the different font. This does not fit in image and in this case it is to say with the colour scheme so that this is an image of ‘Adele’. therefore is wanted to stand out The font is larger then all other from the page. It is to advertise text about from the masthead that it is the 300th issue of the which helps it stand out. magazine which is marketing ploy and the use of a massive celebrity and musician to endorse the fact will help. Target Audience I think that the target audience would be 18- 30 year old females because it is endorsed by a hugely successful young female singer but the colour scheme and image its self is grown up. I think unlike the NME front cover using Rihanna, it is more towards an older target audience because it does not use bright feminine colours. It could also appeal to males as well because even though its uses a female image, the colour scheme has colours that you would associate with men such as red and black. Also the puffs talk about artists such as Liam Gallagher and U2 who are both male musicians and have a majority male fan base.
  • 5. Q Front Cover Analysis Continued Layout I think the layout works well because the puffs are situated on the left hand side and are not layered on top of any Quote significant part of the image. The Above the headline there is a quote image fills most of the page but is from Adele which isn’t finished. This mainly on the right hand side so that is a marketing ploy as the reader means you can still see the masthead would want to read the rest of what properly. I think that the headline she has said. works well in the bottom right hand corner as it is layered on top of the picture of Adele but does not overlay any significant part. Stand First This is the sentence below the headline and is designed to sell the article to the reader. The stand first Barcode and price says ‘ Blows us away’ and this might The barcode and price is breaking help to sell the magazine as it is the codes and conventions of a saying that Adele has blown the music magazine because it is located magazine away so the reader would in the bottom left hand corner, want to know why and if she had when you would expect it to be in that much impact on the magazine the bottom right corner. then the reader would think that she must have done something Colour Scheme significant. The colour scheme is different to the NME cover because it does not have any colours that are associated with females even though the main image is of Adele. I like the bold red black and white colour scheme as it makes the page more grown up helps to tell this is a Q magazine with just a quick glance. The red and black colours are stereotypical of males so this may mean they are trying to appeal to men as well as woman.
  • 6. Rolling Stone Front Cover Analysis Images Masthead The image is of a world wide celebrity Because the name of the magazine is Jay Z who is a ‘rapper’ and a big long then it spreads across all the way influence on RNB and rap music. He across the top and is situated at the looks like he is showing off his wealth by very top of the page. Even though the wearing a nice suit and showing his big masthead is layered behind the main diamond ring. Jay Z may influence if a image, you can still read it and person buys the magazine or not recognise it and it helps to make the because he is very influential in the image stand out. music scene and very well known. Puffs The puffs have considerably big fonts and fits in with the colour scheme. They are advertising the important articles in the magazine and help to entice the reader to read more such as ‘The ten best new bands’. Unlike the NME and Headline Q magazine there is another puff The headline is emphasising the on the other side of the page, this image on the front which is ‘Jay- could be to fill the blank space Z’. It also stands out from the and they want to highlight that rest of the text because it is in a puff in particular as it is one on its big bold font and filled blue own. which stands out from the grey and white background.
  • 7. Rolling Stone Front Cover Analysis Continued Body Language Jay Z is stood up straight and looking very stern. He is also giving eye contact but he ahs a straight face and looking intimidating. Layout The layout works well because the image is centred in the middle Colour Scheme and the puffs are situated around The colour scheme is more it. This is a good use of the space sophisticated because it uses and there is also a good use of ‘bland’ colours of grey and uses layering. The layering makes the colours associated with males like image of the celebrity stand out blue and red which fits in with the because it is in front of the image. The grey also relates to the masthead and makes it stand out image because he is wearing a grey from the page and makes it more suit, so it helps the image and page life like. fit in together. The colour scheme seems to be used to attract the male audience rather than female. Target Audience The target audience of this cover would be for males from about 16-30 because the cover is endorsed by a huge celebrity who is to do with rnb and rap which is mainly listened to by the younger audience. Rap is also very stereotypical of males and what Jay Z is wearing is very sophisticated and the colour scheme is bland which may target a older male audience as well.
