MUSIC MAGAZINE ANALYSIS

FRONT COVER ANALYSIS• THE THING I MOSTLY LIKE ABOUT THIS MAGAZINE FRONT

COVER IS THE BLUE COLOUR IN THE BACKGROUND AND THE IMAGE OF JAMES BOND .THE IMAGE IS A LONG SHOT AND THE MAN IS STANDING IN A SEROIUS POSITION. THE IMAGE IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR A MAGAZINE BECAUSE IF PEOPLE LIKE SOME ACTORS OR SINGER THEY MIGHT BE INTERESTED AND BUY THE MAGAZINE THINKING THEY WILL FIND MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THAT CERTAIN ACTOR OR SINGER. I THINK THIS COLOUR IT REALLY CATCHES YOUR EYES WHEN YOU SEE IT. THE BRIGHT COLOUR MAKE THE MODEL STAND OUT MORE. THE HEADING IS PARTLY COVERE BY THE MAIN IMAGE. EVEN SO PEOPLE WILL STILL RECOGNIZE THE NAME AS IT IS POPULAR. I LIKE HOW IT'S BEEN WRITTEN. THERE IS NOT MUCH TO READ AND THE WRITTING IT'S BIG SO YOU CAN EASILY READ IT. THE USE OF DIFFERENT DECORATION LIKE THE CIRCLE ON THE BOTTOM LEFT SIDE MAKES THE MAGAZINE LOOK MORE PROFESSIONAL AND ATTRACTIVE. THE WRITING EMPIRE IS IN RED WHICH COMPLEMENTS THE BLUE BACKGROUND. I WOULD SAY THIS IS A MORE MASCULIN MAGAZINE BUT IF WOMEN LIKE THE MODEL ON THE MAGAZINE THEY MIGHT BUY IT TOO.

CONTENTS PAGE ANALYSIS• THE BACKGROUND IN THIS PAGE IS WHITE. THERE IS

NOT MUCH READING, A BIT FOR EACH SECTION. THE MONTH AND THE YEAR STANDS OUT AS IT IS LARGER. THERE ARE 3 IMAGES. THE LEFT ONE IS THE MAIN ONE BECAUSE IT'S BIGGER THAN THE OTHER TWO AND IT’S THE ONE THAT INCLUDES A MORE KNOWN PERSON. I LIKE HOW THE USED THE BLACK STRIPS TO NUMBER THE PAGES. THIS PAGE IS QUITE SIMPLE AND I LIKE THAT THE TEXT IS IN ORDER SO THAT THE READER CAN EASILY FIND WHAT HE IS LOOKING FOR AND IT’S MORE LIKELY FOR THE AUDIENCE TO READ IT IF IT IS IN ORDER. YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE WHAT EACH SECTION IS ABOUT AND THE USE OF IMAGES MAKES THE AUDIENCE MORE WILLING AND INTERESTED TO READ WHAT’S INSIDE THE MAGAZINE. FROM THE USE OF COLOURES AND IMAGES USED IN THIS CONTENTS PAGE I WOULD SAY THIS IS A MAGAZINE THAT OLDER PEOPLE WOULD BE INTERESTED IN. THERE IS A BOXING IMAGE WHICH IS A MASCULIN SPORT AND WOMEN WOULDN’T BE INTERESTED IN THAT. THE MODEL ON THE MAIN IMAGE IS LOOKING DIRECTLY INTO THE CAMERA AS IF HE IS INTERACTING WITH THE AUDIENCE.

DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD ANALYSIS• THIS PAGE IS ALMOST ALL BLACK WITH USES

OF WHITE FOR THE SHADOW AND THE TEXT.. THE EYES IN THIS CASE ARE AUTOMATICALY DRAWN TO THE IMAGE. IN THIS CASE AS IN OTHERS IF THE READER KNOWS THE PERSON IN THE PICTURE THERE ARE MORE CHANCES THAT THEY ARE WILLING TO READ. THE IMAGE IS LINKED WITH THE TEXT THAT'S BEEN WRITTEN. THERE IS A LOT OF TEXT ON THIS PAGE BUT IT'S EASY TO READ EVEN IF THE TEXT IS SMALL. THE TITLE IS LARGE FROM THE REST OF THE TEXT. I LIKE HOW THE FLIPPED THE SECOND E IN THE NAME AND THEY CHANGED THE COLOURSE. IT MAKES IT LOOK MORE COOL. THE PICTURES IS A LONG SHOT AND THE MODEL IS SERIOUS WHICH GIVES THE PAGE A MORE HARD CORE LOOK. THE BLACK BACKGROUND MIGHT SIGNIFIE NEGATIV THINGS. I ALSO LIKE HOW THE FACT THAT THE PUT THE RAPPERS REAL NAME UNDER HIS STAGE NAME. THE STAGE NAME IS IN BIGGER CHARACTERS AS HE IS KNOW WITH THAT NAME.
