The masthead on this

magazine is placed behind

the main image, this helps

the image stand out more.

The black also stands out

against the white

background.

The main image is Katy

Perry, she is doing a sexy

pose wearing skimpy

clothing. This is to attract

people to buy the

magazine, especially males.

The main coverline

links with the main

image because it tells

you who they are.

The sub-heading is

telling us about Katy

Perry by referencing

one of her songs.

The coverlines on this

magazine are quite small as

they aren’t as important as

the main story. They are

used to show the readers

there are more stories in

the magazine than just the

main one. They are written

in pink and black to stand

out from the whitebackground.

The colour scheme is very plain

but the pink and black go well

together and stand out against

the white background.

Overall Thoughts

• Overall I thought the layout was best on the GQ magazine as it was less crowded

with information and didn’t go into much detail about the stories in the magazine

but showed you there was a variety of different stories, which I think attracts the

readers more. However I liked the colour scheme on the SHAPE magazine as it

included bright colours like yellow to make it stand out more against the white

background. I also liked how on the GQ magazine the masthead was placed infront of the main image so you could see it more clearly which will attract more

people to buy it, especially if the main image is a seductive image.

• For my magazine I will complete the design and layout like the SHAPE magazine as

I think the colours scheme stands out more and attracts more readers.
