Masthead- The Mastheadisthe title of the magazine.
For thismagazine,somethingthatisquite unusual isthe
fact that the Mastheadis on the side of the page.This
confrontsthe ideathat the Mastheadshouldbe at the top
of the page.Althoughthe Mastheadisn'tat the top of the
page,it still keepsitvaluesof branding.Brandingiswhere
youcan identifysomethingfromsomething.Inthiscase,
the Masthead isa keypart of thismagazinesfrontcover
as we can identifythingslike the genre fromthe
Mastheadand the type of magazine itis.
Maincoverline- The maincoverlineisthe coverline
that anchorsthe mainimage.WhatI meanby thisisthat it
linksthe mainimage withthe maincoverline.Inthiscase,
the maincoverline isaquote fromthe personasthe main
image whichconnotesthe factthat these linktogether.
Coverline- The coverlinesonthe frontof a magazine
are verysignificantastheycangive the audience little bits
of informationthatcanhelpthemidentifycertainarticles
inthe magazine butcan alsogive the readeran ideaof
whatis goingto be in the magazine whichisuseful as
certainthingsmayattract the reader.
Rule of Thirds- The Rule of Thirdsis a keyconvention
inmedia.Whenapplyingthistoa frontcover,there are
twoquestionsthatneedtobe askedby the
published/creatorof the frontcover:What are the points
of interestinthisshot?andWhere am I initially goingto
place them?These questionsare keyasit meansthat
importantthingslike the Masthead,mainimage,
coverlinesetc.needtobe inthe linesof the Rule of Thirds
as that iswhere the audience willlookfirstsotheyneed
certainthingsto helpengage the audienceenoughsothat
theywill buythe magazine.
Barcode- The barcode issomething that
includessome keyinformation.Thisinformation
includesthingslike the numberof issuesthat
have beensold,whichlinksontothe factthat
thiscan also goonto releasingleadershipfigures
to othermagazineswithasimilargenre.
Mainimage/Model/Shot type- The mainimage is
simplythe image onthe frontof the magazine.Thisisalsothe
thingthat anchorsthe maincoverline.Intermsof thismain
image,we can identifythatthe Model isAdamLambert.He is
obviouslyanupand coming,popularmusician/artist innotjust
the musicindustrybutthe fashionindustryaswell accordingto
the coverline of "Music'sMenOf Style"whichhasa listthat he
islistedin.Inthe contextof shot types,I'dsay thatthis isa
mediumshotaswe can see the subjectfromthe waist,up.
Mise-en-scene- Mise-en-scene isaFrench
wordand is relevanttoeverythingthatisincluded
inthe shot.Inthis case,we can pickout the
costume that AdamLambertis wearing.Fromthis,
we can gather that he isquite a fashionablemale
whois quite amodernartistin termsof his
clothing.
Target audience- One of the firstthingsthat connoteswith
the Target Audience is the genre. Forthisparticularmagazine,I
believethatit'sgenre ispop.Thisis mainlybecause of the fact
that there isa pop star on the frontof the magazine asthe main
image plusinone of the coverlines,itmentionssome
artists/bandsthatare popularinthe genre of pop. In termsof
age,I wouldsaythat thisis aimedatyoung.I'd say itis aimedat
a youngergenerationasitincludesmore recentmusicandfor
gender,Isaidmenas it has coverlinessuchas"Music's Men Of
Style"plusithasa young,dominantmale onthe frontof the
magazine.Forsocial class, I'd say that an upperclassismore
likelytobuythismagazine.Thisismainlydue tothe price of the
magazine whichis£5.00. Clearly,'Billboard'provide amore
upmarket,premiummagazinecomparedtosome othermusic
magazinesinthe market.Somethingthatwill alsolinkinwith
social classis the level of educationandoccupationbecause,a
readerwitha highlevel of educationismore likelytohave an
occupationthat paysgoodmoney.Anotherpartto the target
audience isethnicity.I'dsaythat all ethnicitieswill be suitedto
thismagazine.The reasonforthisisthat eventhoughthere'sa
popular,fashionable white male onthe frontcover, there are
alsopopularartists/bandsinside the magazine whoare alsoa
keyfigure inthe popindustry.Finally,withlifestyle,theymay
have thingslike ahouse,a familyandmayultimatelybe fairly
sportyetc.
Colour scheme- Intermsof the colourscheme,there aren'tmanycoloursused
exceptfromthe natural coloursfromthe shot i.e.the clothingetc.
Iconographies- Forthiskeyconvention,one of the mainthingswe cangather fromthe main
image onthe frontcoveris that we have a young,successful,white male.Thisrepresentsa
lotas it representsalotaboutthe youngergenerationandcurrentsocietyandtrends.
