1. MASTHEAD
This masthead uses
simple block colours
which allows the title to
stand out, using red
background and white
text, it helps to catch the
readers attention. It is
positioned at the top
left, where you would
expect to see the title of
the magazine and
overlaps with some of
the main image,
contrasting with the dull
colours of the main
image.
COVERLINE
There may be a few cover
lines on a magazine but only
one main. It follows the
format and design of the
magazine, using the same
colour scheme, giving the
customer a feel of what may
be inside the magazine. We
see that Liam Gallagher is
calling Noel Gallagher ‘’a tit’’
which may grab the readers
attention and make them
want to read the interview,
as it implies that Liam
Gallagher is going confront
Noel in one way or the
other. On this cover there
are also references to
Queen, grabbing Queens’s
fans attention to want to
also buy and read the
magazine, allowing them to
think that they may find
something out they never
knew before. This magazine
also says that includes bands
such a Noah and the Whale,
which also will attract a
variety of readers.
MAIN IMAGE
The main image of this
magazine uses very washed
out colours in contrast with
the bright colour of the
masthead and other bits of
text on this magazine. Like
most magazines, it covers the
majority of the front cover,
with sub headings and cover
lines surrounding it. You can
see in this image that Liam
Gallagher’s glasses are
reflecting other members,
which may allude to the story
lines within the magazine,
adding mystery and suspense
to what’s inside.
SUB HEADING
This sub heading, like other
magazines, is positioned under
a cover line. It carries on the
theme of red that is covering
the majority of the front cover,
it is contrasting with the black
cover line, this gives the
customer a insight of what else
may in the magazine
MAIN COVER LINE
This is what the main story in the magazine will
be about. In this case, it uses the same colour
scheme as the masthead and is in bold font,
grabbing the reader’s attention. Although the
colour scheme is simplistic, this may indicate
the age market that this magazine is aimed at,
in this case it may be young adults. In this
magazine the main cover story is Liam
Gallagher and his kick off with Noel Gallagher,
which implies a confrontation making the
readers interested and wanting to know more.
