1. Masthead:
The masthead on this front cover is
in big bold letters. This clearly states
the genre of the magazine is
classical, because the title is
‘classical music’ the fact that music
is in small writing next to the large
writing shows that the magazine is
very easy to be seen by its usual
buyers, as they will be able to see
the masthead clearly.
Edition and date:
This part of the magazine
is what tells us it is an
edition magazine and you
can subscribe to it. We
know this because the
date is stated at the top
along with the price.
The Main Image:
The main image on the cover
of this magazine is a medium
long shot of Nicola
Benedetti. This fits in well
with the magazine as she is
the main focus in this
edition. In the classical music
industry she is known mainly
for being a huge Scottish
Violinist. This is also why she
is starring in a classical music
magazine.She is dressed
formally with a white blouse
and a black pencil skirt. This
shows she takes her music
seriously and feels she has to
dress smart in order to keep
her reputation high.
Main Selling Line:
The main selling line is Nicola
Benedetti’s Name in big bold
writing. This clearly shows that she
is the main focus in this edition of
the magazine ‘classical music’ as her
name take up the majority of space
on the cover, which automatically
draws attention to her.
The Strapline:
The strapline also contrasts with the
mane image as it states that Nicola
is ‘standing up for music’ and in the
main image she is standing up.
The Bar Code:
The bar code is usually situated in
the (dead space) of the magazine,
which following the three way rule
is usually in the bottom right or left
corner. This is because it’s not the
main focus of the magazine.
