The document analyzes the design elements of a magazine cover, noting that the large central image is meant to draw attention to the featured person. Color contrasts and different text sizes are used throughout to make certain words and lines stand out to readers. The placement and design of elements like the masthead, cover lines, footer, and puff provide different types of information and guide the reader's eyes across the page.

1. The main image is large and covers
most of the page making it the centre of
attention. Because it’s a large image it
suggests the magazine is mainly about
the person on the cover.
The skyline is orange with
black text, these colours
contrast which makes the
text stand out
The main
cover line is
bigger than
the other text
on the page.
Also some
text is
highlighted
orange, these
words will
stand out to
the reader.
The mast head is
white text and
goes over the
main image. This
tells us the
producer want
the title to be
seen when the
reader looks at
the magazine
instead of it
being hidden
behind the main
image.
The smaller cover lines all
use different types of text
at different sizes. This
could mean the content
each cover line is
advertising to the reader
is different.
The footer is similar to the skyline
but the text is white on the black
background instead of being
orange. This shows the skyline and
the footer are telling 2 different
pieces of information. One word
on the footer is orange, this is so it
grabs the reader’s attention.
The puff is running
in the colour
scheme
[orange/white/blac
k] but it’s a circle it
stands out, where
as ever thing else is
quite square
shaped
