2.  The masthead is very bold and
clear to see. It’s placed in the top
left hand corner to grab our
attention immediately as this is
where we first look.
 The colours (red and white) are
strong and work together well.
These are typical colours used in
a music magazine.
 The word ‘SPIN’ links into music as
it could be a spinning record or
cd.
 The size of the masthead is big
enough to make an impact on
the page but small enough to not
distract the reader from the main
image.

3.  The language used Cleary
reflects that it is a music
magazine.
 The list of names going down
one side of the page helps to let
you understand what kind of
genre the magazine is.
 The use of the word ‘FREE!’ grabs
your attention

4.  The over all layout for the cover is
very conventional for a music
magazine. Following the formula
one artist= one page.
 It’s very clear and easy to follow.
 The colours all work well together
and the composition is clear.
 To me the magazine cover is
successful. It looks good and
draws you in as an audience.
