The document discusses the layout and design elements of two magazine covers. It describes the masthead, skyline, kicker, cover lines, images, colors, and other visual components that make up the front pages. For the first magazine, the masthead is "Front Page Magazine" in capital letters at the top. The main cover image takes up the whole page and features Chris Brown. For the second magazine, the masthead is "Billboard" and remains consistent across issues. The main cover image is a dark picture of Rihanna that covers the masthead and is intended to draw the viewer's attention.
2. The Masthead is the writing ‘Vibe’ which stands out to
the audience because it is big bright and bold in capital
letters. The skyline is on the top of the page is used in
tow colours, green and white to help it stand out more,
this is also written in capitals. The kicker is the main
cover line, in this case it is the writing that says ‘ is that
Chris Brown’ The way ‘Chris Brown’ is written in
capitals shows how this is the main part they want to
attract the target audience . This is also the same font
and size of the masthead. The magazine also has text
on the side of the magazine, which is the
strapline/cover line. This tells us what is inside of the
magazine. This text is also in capital letters which make
it stand out more to the target audience. There is also
a barcode in the magazine with the price. The
magazine also has puffs right at the bottom in red,
which are special offers. This will catch the eyes of
people who like getting special offers in their
magazines. The main cover image of this magazine is
one picture that takes up the whole of the magazine. In
this case the main image of this magazine is Chris
Brown. He is wearing a red t-shirt which is one of the
main colours of the magazine, along with the other
main colours green white.
3. The Masthead is the writing ‘Billboard’ the
masthead does not change through issues of
different magazines but stays the same throughout
all magazines. The cover lines on the side are
arranged with titles that have been highlighted and
the information is placed underneath it. The spacing
between each title allows it to be easily identified.
The header tells us the other features within the
magazine and also used the main colour, yellow. The
main cover line ‘Rihanna’ is in the middle big and
bold so that it interests the audience as they would
want to know what’s new about her. The
background of the image is very dark and a small
amount of light is shown, this would be because
they would want the focus on the main image. The
main image is of the singer Rihanna so that the first
thing you see will be the picture and because of this
people would be more likely to want to know what’s
inside. The main image of rihanna covers the
masthead which shows the main focus is of rihanna
and this shows how they want the first thing seen by
the target audience will be her.
