These are all features of a magazine. All of them are important
because they make the magazine interesting to its audience, for
example without text people wouldn’t know what’s inside the
magazine therefore would buy something else.
The masthead is usually the
title of the magazine. It is big
at the top of the page which
grabs the readers attention
toward the magazine. It is
very important for the
masthead to be relevant to
the magazine such as the
style and colour. This
particular magazine, has a
masthead that is Black and
bold, making it edgy.
However the main image is
covering the
masthead, suggesting that
the magazine is well known
so its not that important for
the name to be on full
display.
Main cover line, this is the
biggest cover line on the
magazine as it’s the biggest
story within the magazine.
The main image is also related
to the main cover line as the
main image is what catches
your eye and grabs your
attention towards the
magazine.
Skyline is a little section at
the top of the page that
usually includes something
special about the
magazine. This makes the
magazine more enticing
for the audience.
Sell lines are little insiders
of the stories inside the
magazine, to show to
readers what it contains.
Secondary images are used to
promote features in the
magazines, which are usually
followed with anchorage.
Adress is used to communicate with the
readers, to make them feel like the magazine is
aimed at them which makes it more personal. In
this magazine The cover model is making direct
address which also makes the reader feel as
though they are looking at them.
Barcode, price and
edition are general
features of a magazine.
The colour scheme used in this
magazine is a lot of black and
reds, which are darker colours. This
links with the genre of the
magazine, which includes a lot of
colours like black, red, yellow, green
ect.
