10. Music Magazine

11. Analysis
• The image shows Katy Perry wearing a limited number of clothes and shows Katy looking straight at
the reader. By Katy only wearing a limited number of clothes, this will allow her to appeal not only to
girl but will also catch the attention of men who are interested in music. Similarly, by Katy looking
straight down the camera lens into the readers eye, this shows the readers that Katy is a very direct
person as is trying to creating a connection between hear and the readers in order to promote her
new single.
• The text used on the front cover of this magazine is in all capitals. This shows use that she is a serious
person and is serious about making her music o well as writing it all in capital letters, allows each
word on the magazine to be seen and read by the audience. At the top of the magazine, it says free
download, 10 hot new tracks. This shows us that the main genre of this magazine is music based.
Also, this magazine is not just music based, but it also gives us an insider as to what these music stars
get up to and allows the audience to find out new things about them. I can tell this from the quote
kiss ‘n’ tell with pop bi-curious babe. There are quotes on the front cover from stories that are in the
magazine which allow the people reading to be intrigued and want to buy it and read more about
this story.
• The size of the font used for the title of the magazine is the largest on the front cover. This is so it
stands out on the page a people reading know what the magazine is called. Despite this, on this
occasion, the title of the magazine is behind the main photo of Katy. This shows us that the magazine
company are using a well-known celebrity to boost the sales of their magazine which will in theory
get more people reading it. The colour of this title is in all black. This allows it to stand out even more
due to it contrasting to the white background allowing for it to be clearer to read. Similarly, the
quotes that are one the cover of the magazine are also in pink. This allows it to appeal to the female
audience as this colour give the magazine a more female based feeling. It also suggests that maybe
this magazine will mainly appeal to females and people who are interested in Katy Perry and her
music.
