Barcodes on magazines contain information like the date, issue number, and price. The title of the magazine case studied is centered at the top to draw attention. The masthead uses recurring colors like red, yellow, blue, and green that are unisex to appeal to both male and female readers. The front cover features a main picture that relates to the main feature article and uses complementary colors between the background and model to create a cohesive design that appeals to its target audience.

writing. Keeping
it simple.
Title is a nice size
and top centred
which means that it
is one of the main
focuses of the
magazines.
Reoccurring
colours,
Red,
Yellow,
Blue &
Green.
The Masthead is
colourful and very fun,
the colours however
are very unisex. So
this shows that the
magazine is for both
male and female.
The colours however show
that this magazine is very
transferrable because
although it caters for people
that are fun, colourful and
very hypo, the picture on
the cover is of someone
who raps and focusses on
RnB

3. Front Cover Design of the colours of the
background matches the
model on the front cover. So
Katy Perry looks very girly
and is covered in flowers &
the background is pink and
girly.
The main
picture is
usually the
main feature
article.
When looking at the appeal
this has on the audience, we
see that the front cover is
girly and fun. This also
appeals to girls and women
who are into pop music etc.
