1. Magazine Analysis
The Masthead is a bold
blue in capitals with
original typography.
This draws in the
attention of the reader
and it makes them
aware of the magazine
that they are reading.
The main image is a shot of Mike
Posner, which tells you that the
magazine will be featuring him. He
is positioned in the middle third of
the cover with cover lines on the
left and right third.
This is the tag line which
engages the reader on the
particular article that is inside.
On this cover, the tag is about
Mike Posner (picture in the
centre) which tells the reader
the main story inside of the
magazine.
The cover lines for this cover
show what particular articles
they will find in the magazine.
They are situated on the left
and right third also the cover
lines are all aimed at a certain
age. In this example the
magazine is aimed at students
in college, therefore the cover
lines tell you about the articles
that link to that certain age
group.
The colour scheme for the magazine is mainly
blue and yellow which are quite calming
colours but bold enough to draw in the
attention of the readers.
