This is my presentation on my analysis on music magazines for research on music magazine. In this presentation I look at three different magazines along with three different genres from each.

1. Cover analysis
By Kofoworola Williams

2. The masthead is
covered by the
artist. This
because it is so
well know that
everyone knows
it’s name.
The use of
colours such as
green, yellow
and red to
show the genre
of the this
magazine’s
story.
Date for
collectors.
Mode of
address:- Bob
Marley is the
main focus of
the magazine
Sub stories/
cover stories:-
other things
that are
included within
the magazine.
Bar code:- for
purchase
Free CD

3. Masthead- the
masthead is
covered by the
mode of address
because they
believe that their
company is iconic.
Barcode is on the
cover but not in
the way of the
main story or the
mode of address.
Mode of address – the
mode of address is a rap
artist known as “Drake”
in a Mid shot smiling
which relates to the
main cover line “Drake
finds happiness”
Main Cover line has
the line “Drake finds
happiness” to have
a preview of what is
to come. This is here
along with a quote
also.
The use of
colours black,
white and grey.
This could be
to show a
more serious
look at the
artist.

4. Mode of address – Daft
Punk in a two shot. The
view of their helmets
show a view of space,
this is to imply that they
along with their music
are out of this world.
The ice cream in their
hands may have a sense
of a irony since they
cannot eat them but
may mean something
else like that they are
sweet.
Bar code
Collect sticker – to
make people
continue buying the
magazines
Main cover story
– The line “Daft
Punk talk to Q”
and below it
“UNMASKED”
tells us that the
interview they
had with them
was an exclusive.
More Side stories
Side stories – the use of the word
“PLUS!” is to get excitement into the
reader of other stories available
besides Daft Punk
