Graphic elements

1. MASTHEAD:
This is located at the top of
the magazine where the
audience reading the
magazine can see. This is
ideal as the readers know
what they are reading and
what the magazine idolises
as their main concept.
COVER LINES:
The cover lines illuminate
contents within the magazine,
and address what will come up
within the magazine.
FONT TYPES:
Two types of fonts have been
used, Sans serif and serif. This
creates the idea that the
magazine is coming across as
formal and informal to address
their audiences from all ages.
COLOUR SCHEME:
The colour scheme is effective
amongst magazines as this is
the first element you are
most likely to notice.
The colour scheme is ideally
very pastel toned and soft,
using the colours of purple,
black, white and grey.
MAIN COVER LINE:
The main cover line addresses
that there is an article within
the magazine about Lady Gaga.
The cover line accompanies the
main imagery of the magazine,
linking all the important
elements together.
MAIN IMAGE: The main
imagery is a very seducing
medium shot of the pop star
Lady Gaga, entitling her as
the main topic within the
music magazine. The main
image is very important as it
highlights what the content
inside will address. The use
of the imagery is
conventionally ideal for a
pop star as they have
brightened the unique colour
of her hair to inform the
audience of her generic look
for the genre of pop, and this
refers to a domination of
female beauty and
stereotyped female colours
as there is a dominance of a
bright, feminine colour.
BARCODE/DATELINE:
The barcode and dateline
address the important of when
the articles were significant

2. MASTHEAD:
This is located at the top of the
magazine where the audience
reading the magazine can see.
This is ideal as the readers
know what they are reading.
COVER LINES:
Mainly cover lines address
issues within the magazine
highlighting what content will
be available to read for the
audience.
FONT TYPES:
The font type supresses what
time of magazine it will be,
either formal or informal. In
this case it comes across very
formally as they are using fonts
with serif.
COLOUR SCHEME:
The colour scheme normally
highlights what type of
magazine it will be, for
example pink addresses
feminism and black and
white addresses
modernism. Within this
magazine it is specifically
dark, cool blues expressing
masculinity.
MAIN COVER LINE:
The main cover line illuminates
the main topic for the audience
so they can focus on what
article will first be written. This
cover line is quite comical and
ironic, as it was around the
time he left one direction.
Therefore they use the pun of
“Zayn Malik's Own Direction.”
MAIN IMAGE:
The main image addresses the
content within the magazine,
the example of this imagery is
of Zayn Malik an artist and ex
member of One Direction. The
use of this image exemplifies
that within the magazine, there
is a main article about him. The
main image is edited to come
across very dark with little
highlight except upon his face
and tattoos, almost suggesting
a back story on a new tattoo or
a happening within his life since
the leaving of One Direction.

3. MASTHEAD:
The masthead is always
located on the left side of
the paper as the audience
will begin reading from this
side.
COVER LINES:
Cover lines are used to address
ideal topics within the
magazine, this helps the
audience see what content is
inside and whether or not it is
ideal for their interests.
COLOUR SCHEME:
The colour scheme is based
around very autumn colours
for example red, orange and
the blue around her eyes.
The use of the blue is very
intense which combines
with the blue lines and
bullet points next to the
cover lines.
MAIN COVER LINE:
The main cover line is at the
top of the magazine, this hints
at the topic of the article about
the celebrity. “Florence,
Woman on edge.” this could be
fallac language for the idea that
her music is quite edgy and
punk rock, this attracts young
audiences.
MAIN IMAGE:
The main image takes up the
whole page and they use her
fiery, seductive red hair to use
as a background to place
everything against. This makes
the magazine seem more edgy
and rocky.
