The magazine cover features an artist creating layers in front of the masthead. The iconic hat-wearing artist stares out at the reader while pointing his fingers toward cover lines to guide attention. His blue-tinged eyes, clothes, and background reflect the year being described as "cool". The sophisticated magazine uses red, blue, and white colors, branching out to a mature 16-27 audience.

1. The magazine I analysed has a cover artist in front of the masthead creating layers. The artist also
stares out as if he is staring at the reader. The way he wears his hat is iconic to him but it tips
towards the cover lines guiding the reader’s attentions as well as his fingers pointing
towards the other cover lines. The eyebrow describes the year as ‘cool’ so the artist has
dark clothes with blue lighting as well as blue reflected in his eyes and a blue
background.one other aspect that relates to the ‘cool’ is that his hands are clenched giving
the feeling that he is warming up his hands.
It has 3 main colours red, blue and white. This suggests it is a sophisticated magazine.so it branches
out for a more mature audience 16-27.
