1. Magazine name: Entertainment weekly
Image: Takes up most of the front cover, very striking
figure is being shown its a close up and an easily
recognisable actress printed on it. She is also the only
thing in focus giving us the impression that she is the
main hub of this front cover and should put all your
eyes on her.
Cover lines: the word ‘exclusive!’ is written clearly in big
bold characters highlighting what the publishers want
the audience to look at first and concentrate on. it’s
positioned underneath the magazine name telling us it’s
the first thing you should look at afterwards.
Title: positioned at the very top of the magazine cover
in large, valiant and striking font meaning it cannot be
easily missed. Brings in target audience which are
obviously fans of The Hunger Games.
Tagline: positioned underneath the magazine name in
small unnoticeable font meaning it may not be as
important as the other characteristics of this front cover.
Date: positioned underneath the title, in incredibly
miniature font size, isn’t so obvious but it is positioned
in a appropriate place which doesn’t get in the way of
the main aspects of this cover.

2. Magazine name: Top of the Pops
Image: the main star image takes up most of
the front cover a very well known an popular
artist that can easily be recognised is the
mainly focused person on the front cover this
grabs the attention of his fans and/or fans of
other artists that are being shown on the cover.
Cover lines: the word “SHOCK” is written in
giant font and it’s also a different colour from
the rest of the writing in bright orange making it
stand out, positioned on the image but it isn’t
covering much not taking any attention away
from the main star of the cover. And also the
word “WIN!” stands out a lot because of the
exclamation mark but not only that, the font that
has been used and the colour plus the outer
red highlighted section making it un miss able.
Tag line: positioned at the very top in readable
font/size it’s asking the audience a question
interacting with this a good strategy used to
gain potential buyers. Doesn’t take up a lot of
space.
Date/ Price: They’re both positioned next to
each other in very petit font size and it’s hardly
noticeable meaning it isn't really important and
shouldn’t be focused on, also it’s positioned at
the very bottom of the page.

3. Magazine name: Vogue Korea
Image: positioned in the centre and takes up
most of the front cover, it’s also very appealing
how there is a blank background behind her tells
us you should focus your eyes on her.
Cover lines: red/black font colour is used making
it look noticeable and also the style of the font is
quite elegant and is mostly used in fashion
magazines like Vogue. Although it’s not
necessarily in English it just stands out for me.
Title: positioned below both the magazine name
and the cover lines, it takes up some of the page
but not all, the “15th” part of it is highlighted in red
meaning it’s the most important part of the title. I
really like the font they have used for the title it
looks really classy and chic a very common thing
for fashion magazines.
Tagline: Positioned near the magazine name,
almost unnoticeable (although not in English)
takes up hardly any space showing it isn't that
important.
Date: Positioned at the bottom of the page in
small font making it un obvious that it’s there
