3. MAIN IMAGE
- The main image is the main
focus of the magazine, in this
case it is the band Muse. To
grab the audiences attention
they are wearing black,
leather jackets on a white
background to make
themselves more visible, and
overlapping the Masthead. This
draws to focus to them.
- They are also looking directly
at the audience, direct
address, also one member is
pointing directly at the
audience. This draws in the
audience, as they’ll make eye
contact with them and are
immediately brought to the
magazines attention.

4. MASTHEAD + STRIP
- The title that is in a large font and red
stands out to the bright background.
Grabbing the audiences attention. It
also looks tattered and not as
sophisticated with scratches and bits
missing from the letters. This suggests
that it may be focusing on a younger
target audience, especially with the
brighter and larger variety of colours
used.
- This magazine is very popular, hence
why the main image is overlapping the
title as people know what the
magazine is and can tell by looking at
what is visible of the title. This allows the
viewers to focus on the main image
and other things on the issue cover.
The Strip above the Masthead talks
about other bands and dates which they
are performing on. This is smaller than the
title and other focuses on the cover to
save space. It also uses the same
method by using bright colours to
contrast with the dark background in
order to make it more noticeable for
viewers, and to widen the target
audience range.

5. MAIN COVER LINE +
COVER LINES
- The Main Cover Line is in a bold, white
font across the main image, this
associates the image with the cover line,
addressing who they are to the
audience. It also makes it very visible as
the main image is quite dark and
detailed, it is hard to miss something put
across it in white font.
- The cover lines are highlighted by the red
boxes, make it stand out and alienate it
from the Main Cover Line. This is how the
viewers know it is not the min cover line
but also highlights the latest event they
have been involved in. For viewers this
gives a hint on what they are talking
about in the magazine.

6. LURE
- Lures (located up and across the
bottom of the cover) present the
other themes in the magazine, for
example posters and competitions.
These attract viewers because
they are well presented to grab a
viewers attention with overlapping
the main image and the possibility
of free things inside.
