This document analyzes and summarizes three different music magazine covers. The first magazine, Vibe, uses vibrant colors and a neat layout that give it a "fresh" feel. The alternating colors used in the cover lines effectively separate each artist. The second magazine portrays Kanye West in a serious way, making the reader want to learn more about him. Its masthead uses a bold, eye-catching color. The third magazine seems aimed at an older generation due to its simplistic skyline, cover lines, and image of an older man, with a limited color palette that still allows it to stand out on store shelves.

1. Analysis Of Three Music Magazine Covers

2. This magazine, Vibe, appealed to me simply because of the vibrant colours and neat layout. The colours used, for example in the masthead, give a ‘fresh’ feel to the cover.

4. The skyline style in this magazine may be something I want to achieve in my own music magazine project; the way the font size of the top line is smaller than the second and again, the use of colour is very effective. This is the pull quote, a quote pulled out from the inside of the magazine. The way the main image of Kanye West is portrayed and represented is in a very serious way, he is not smiling, jumping around or looking exciting, he is portrayed as being a deep, interesting character, making you want to open the magazine and find out more about him.
