Barcode
The masthead of the cover magazine is ‘Vibe’. It’s written in red
colour and it’s really big because it’s the title of the magazine.
On the right and on the left of the cover magazine there are cover
lines, which give some information about the magazine contents.
The colours used are red, white and black. I really like these colours,
especially the red because they attract the reader.
On the top there’s the ‘puff’, which is a piece of writing that attract
you to read it. In this cover magazine the puff is an exclusive about
Eminem, one of the most interesting pages you can find in the
magazine.
Obviously there’s also the barcode on which there’s the cover price
and publish date.
In the middle there’s a big photograph of Kesha, the main character
of the magazine. She’s looking at us; we can note the eye contact to
the audience.
The language used is informal and looking at the picture, Kesha’s
pose and at the titles which give information about the magazine’s
contents, we can understand that it’s a magazine addressed to young
guys, probably between 15 – 20 years old and it features ReB and hip
hop’s music.

yellow and white. The colours of the title are
connected to Katy Perry’s dress.
On the right top there’s the puff, which attracts more the reader.
There’s also some cover lines, which give some information about
the contents magazine. The first thing you see when you look at the
cover magazine is the title ‘Katy Perry’, the main cover line. It’s
written in black on the pink background, it’s big and it’s in the
middle. You can also see the cover price and the publish date but not
the barcode; maybe it’s on the back. In the middle there’s a big
photograph of Katy Perry: we can note the eye contact and the
connections between the colours of Katy’s dress and the other

‘Rolling Stone’, which is also
the
masthead. It’s written in

the white background. The most used colours are white, black,
orange and yellow. There’s also a big photograph of the Beatles but
in this case they are not looking at us, but they are reading a
newspaper, so the thing that attracts more is the main cover line. On
the top of the cover magazine there’s the puff with some words that
resume some articles you will find in. Near the puff there’s the cover
