1. Cover Analysis
Cover Image -They
put a picture of the
main story or the
thing they are
promoting as the
background in this
case is the band “30
Seconds to Mars” so
it will catch your eye
and makes you want
to buy the magazine.
In this magazine they
have put the people
in the image in black
leather clothing,
which is not gender
specific and links to
being hard core for
example trashing
hotel rooms.

piece of text that goes
with the Cover Image
to tell you who or
what exactly is the

“30 Seconds to Mars”
to go with the picture
of them. In this
magazine they have
put the band name in
big bold letters in
white like the
Masterhead except
from being crack it
has been dirty to
resemble how the
story how this last
year has been hard.
Masthead – This is the
title or head of the
magazine for example
this magazine is called
“Kerrang”. The
Masterhead is always
at the top of the page in
big bold letters to catch
your eye. In this
magazine of Kerrang
they have used a white
Masterhead so it is not
gender specific, and
have put the text like it
is crack as this
magazine is about rock
and people resemble
rock with breaking
things like a window.
Sky Line –The Sky line is this bit of text above the Masterhead, which tells you
more about either the magazine, it self or the main story of this specific magazine.

and 40 reviews for the huge fans, which want to know everything about the
bands they follow.

Bellamy.

is usually either at
the bottom on the
front of the magazine
or the bottom at the
