Page 1: Analysis of two magazines

Masthead – here the masthead recognisable although the cover model covers most of it suggesting that this magazine is well known and has credibility

Anchorage here – following the usual codes and conventions of magazines – this being the biggest story on the page

Cover model – well known face – people are interested in her music, she has eye contact with the camera therefore with the audience making it more personal

Puff – extra information about what is in the magazine – people who are into this type of genre of music are expected to know who ‘Giulianai’ is

Pugs – necessary for all magazines – here they are not together which is unusual

Coverlines – giving little information but gives the reader an insight into what they are about to read/buy

Red stands out on the titles of the coverlines – adds more colour to the magazine

Simple white background – not taking any attention away from the cover model and coverlines

Here the cover model follows the genre and themes of the magazine – Rolling Stone being a rock magazine - her tattoos are on show which is stereotypical ‘rocky’ and alternative – in which this magazine is in the genre of

Pugs all together

Tagline - short but the word ‘buddy’ makes this sound like a fun magazine to read
