3. The master head on this magazine front
cover is across the top of the page in bold
writing.. The imagine overlapping the
master head could indicate that this
magazine is well known and the
audience will be able to differentiate it
from other magazines. The colour used
on the master head is a light blue which
sits on the grey background allowing it to
stand out.

4. The headline is in a bigger font and in
a different colour from the other sell
lines. This makes it stand out and
shows that it is the main focus of the
magazine.
The sell lines on the magazine are
across the right hand side of the front
cover. They are short and snappy. The
sell lines are the names of Musicians;
this tells the audience what articles to
look out for and who they are about.

5. The image is a close up of Kanye West which
indicates the main article is about him. His pose
is quite arrogant which goes with the headline ‘I
Am Rap’. His head also overlaps the headline.
The three main colours used on the front page
are blue, grey and pink, all colours which are eye
catching on the shelf. The grey background
makes the pink and blue text stand out more
which grabs the audiences attention.
