front cover analysis


The masthead: this is a silver colour which bonds well the background, which is purple, also the masthead is at the top of the page which will be one of the first things you see and read. The insides of the letters ‘a’ and‘d’ are coloured in different colours (green and blue) which adds a little more colour to the main look of the magazine.
Main cover image: this is of Miley Cyrus holding a large letter ‘M’ which is in gold. It is the main dominant image that stands out and it is the first thing that people see and the colours are black and gold these are sophisticated and sexy.
Other cover images: normally on other pop magazines there are other images around the front cover with other cover stories but on this magazine there is no other image but the main one of Miley Cyrus which shows how important she is to this magazine.
Main cover line: ‘the queen of teen grows up. But will her fans follow?’ by using the word ‘queen’ which is in a yellow/gold colour shows the importance of Miley in this magazine.
Other cover lines: the consistency of the colour scheme stays throughout the front cover because they are all title in yellow/gold and the little sub lines underneath are in white, which keeps the front cover looking professional.
Font: The entire font on the front cover is kept the same this shows how sophisticated and professional the magazine is because if all of the fonts were different it would look all mashed up and wouldn’t really appeal to a wider audience.
Puff: in the top left hand corner there is a little yellow strip that stands out dramatically from the rest which says ‘don’t miss’ this is leading you into reading the rest of the magazine as you want to find out what’s inside and what you would be missing if you didn’t read it.
