Magazines analysis

1. Masthead- the masthead for this
magazine is spread right across the
front of the magazine. The colour
of the title is blue which fits very
well in the colour scheme of the
whole o f the magazine. The front
page is full of blues, pinks and
blacks which does make the front
cover stick out. It is very large and
bright, even though Kanye Wests’
head is covering the middle of the
word you can still make out what it
is. The three simple colours make a
big impact on the front cover it
makes it standout from may be
other magazines.
Date line- The date on this
magazine is down the bottom
of the page, it is very small
however it is noticeable. It
informs people on what date
the issue came out.
Skyline-The skyline adds extra information to the magazine. It is there to attract the
reader to reading the magazine and drawing them in. Cover image- the cover
image is initially there to
drag the reader in, if
they recognize the
person on the front they
will tend to go and buy
it, the more famous the
person is, the more
sales. The main image
fills up the full of the
front page of the
magazine. The person on
the front tends to have a
main feature in the
magazine.
Most magazines have a
barcode at the bottom
of the magazine or right
at the top. However this
magazine does not have
one, I think this is
because I got it ofline.
Cover Line- This links
together with the main image
on the magazine, explaining
who that person or image is.
Features- the
features are sly hints
of what is going to be
in the magazine, this
makes the person
want to buy it.
