Front Cover Analysis


Front Cover Analysis




•   The genre of the magazine is rock. We can see this by the rock artists displayed in the main image, sub image and sub lines.
•   the target audience is unisex and is aimed at people aged 12-30.
•   the main colour schemes is black white and red as these are harsh and heavy colours that represents the theme of the magazine.
•   the photography is of a model (torso to head) and shows a contrast in his face.
•   Masthead at the top of the magazine. The masthead is able to be covered by the model as it's a well known magazine so readers can identify it without seeing the full name.
•   There are two smaller sub images that are not as big as the main image.
•   The celebrity on the main model is looking directly at the reader so this follow magazine conventions.
•   The headline is bigger and bolder than the sell lines but smaller than the masthead.
•   The barcode, issue number and price is on the front cover.
•   There is a strapline but it is covered by the main image as it's a very well known strapline so it doesn't need to be displayed.
