Music Magazine Analysis

The layout of this cover is very simple, there is very little text or images, this maybe because the main focus of the magazine, the feature article, is featured with large text and a picture that takes up around 90% of the cover. This makes the cover look simple but helps draw attention to the feature. The colours that have been used on the cover are a very simple red and white, which coincides with the Magazines colour scheme, as designated by their name. Also the red help draw even more attention to not only the text in the main feature but also to what little else there is on the cover e.g. The banner that indicated there are 8 posters inside that reader may want to have or look at. The text that is used is used in a way that helps draw attention, but not just by the colours that are used but by the way that the text has been worded for example, the words ‘World Exclusive’ helps draw readers to it and makes them think they’d be one of the first to read the article and makes them want to pick it up, it also infers that inside the article is important and New information that they will need to know. The main image of the front cover is also taken in such a way that would help draw in the target demographic, as the band are looking straight at the camera and in such as a way that they are alsmot daring you to pick up and read the magazine.
