Analysis Of A Music Magazine

The masthead of the magazine is very big and bold for the readers to see, however one of the members of the band is covering some of the masthead. Even though he is covering some of the title, fans of the magazine would recognise the magazine without seeing the full title. The main image is of the band '30 Seconds To Mars' which can be told by the headline which is very bold and clear and is the main focus of the magazine. The connotation is to let people know about the artist and to get them interested in it and to get people and especially fans to buy the magazine. The image is of the three members of the band however, one members image bigger and in front on the masthead to show the importance of the member as he is probably the lead singer. Because the picture of him is bigger than the other members, this shows that each member could has taken their pictures separately or it could of been taken with them all together but he is standing in front of them. The members of the band are looking directly at the camera which brings them closer to the audience, they are also wearing black leather jackets with the collar flared up to make them look cool and mysterious. The text in the skyline is large and bold so it makes it stand out and grabs the readers attention and makes them want to read on. The coverline is to give a preview of what is in the magazine and makes the reader interested and want to read on. The pictures at bottom give the reader an insight of whats in the magazine and the button which says 'Guitar Gods Poster Special' also intrigue the reader as they are getting free posters in the magazine.

Final Front Cover

WWW: I think my masthead and headline is very bold and noticeable for the readers, i also think the choice of colours is good as they are easily readable bright and bold enough to see. I think the image is good as it is relevant to what the magazine is about. The students are holding up university prospectus' which links to the headline which is 'Tips for university interviews'. From the happy expression on their faces it shows the excitement on going to uni. I also think the choice of having a boy and girl on the cover is good as it shows the magazine is for all genders. The button is bold as people can clearly identify the price of the magazine. The sublines are bold and are easy to read, the choice of sublines lets the readers know what other content is in the magazine. The banner draws in the attention of readers as they are getting something for free.

EBI: One of the main issues i would change is to re-take the picture as it is a little blurry. But it was the only one i took in which the people were in the middle of the shot.
