5 Front Cover Analysis

This magazine cover is very different in the ways the other magazines are structured as there is less text then all of the other magazines. It has the main title at the top of the page to symbolise that it is "Zone" magazine. Further more all this magazine seems to have on the cover is a picture of "Soul Boy" this is similar to the "Rolling stones" magazine where as the picture is basically the most important thing on the page. Although the magazine is promoting is 7 year anniversary which is states on the page in the same type of righting as the companies name. Which shows that it means it’s the companies seven year anniversary not the singers on the front cover. On this front cover there are two pictures on the page which is different to all the other magazines that I have analysed. Which is promoting the magazine to more viewers? The layout of the page is very simple in away I doesn’t need allot of reading its just a look magazine the way this would work is that you look at the magazine and then decide bi it or leave it, this teenier is very risky as it dose not show any type of sales skills although some times the plainer the better, as this magazine would attract the Unger ages like teenagers who would not want to read the magazine straight of.

The "souja boy" name is in bright orange to draw the reader to look at the magazine and then as they are looking the name will stand out from a distance and as it is big text is easy to read. It appears as the most important writing on the page. The picture is over lapping the magazine name "Zone" to show that it is the most important thing on the page. Also it has a small banner at the top of the page would a reader walking by would look at straight away when picking up the magazine.

4 Front Cover Analysis

In the magazine covers that i have done an analysis of what I have done so far this is the most, different as the other magazines are "RnB" and now i have started to look at the "Rock" side. The way in which the rock posters have been lay ed out is quiet different from the "RnB". Such as the magazine basically looks exclusive for just the band on the front which in this magazine is the "Rolling Stones". Although on the far bottom of the front cover it gives a brief distribution of what else might be in the magazine. The pictures on the magazine are basically there to pull the passing eye. n draw it to look at the front cover, then they will read the headlines and then read and bye the magazines. The magazine also has a banner at the top of the page, which would just say something different every week, also they colour the banner in black bold lettering as if to separate the banner from the rest of the page, as it has nothing to do with the page.

On this page they do not have a frame for the page with the picture in the middle, although the picture dose not need a border as the picture is the page, although this techie wont work if, teh band is not very well known then the magazine will not sell. The company must no this and must be confident that people will bi the magazine. Although they have included a little text in the bottom right corner of the page. They have put it in white so that it dose not take over the page. Put further down the page in big lettering they have the second attraction to the page which they have put it smaller text then the rolling stones but it is bigger then the smaller white righting in the bottom colour. So it portrays it as the second most important thing in the magazine.

3 Front Cover Analysis

In magazine "Vibe" which i have also used in one of the magazines above, have also used the same method of layout as they did with the "Kanye West" front cover story, they have also used the same colours which are contrasting colours to draw the eye to the magazine cover. They have also tryed to portray the way in which "Usha is looked at as a hard man, which is made to look more like the gangster. Again the "Vibe" magazine has covered up there own name to show that Usha is the most important thing on the page.

2 Front Cover Analysis

The way in which "Nyion" have portrayed the way in which "Lily Allen" has come back into singing as being more like an icon. They have used more off a long shot so see all of her. They have used this technique so show that she is back "brave new girl", the way in which they have used a big picture to show its all about her and the only words that over lap her picture is her name. Linking to the structure off the magazine like the "Kanye West" magazine the words headings around the picture are put around them to make a sort off border around the picture to make it stand out. they have also used alot of contrasting colours to make the words stand out.

1 Front Cover Analysis

This particular magazine cover, shows Kanye West on the "vibe" front cover. The magazine shows "Kanye West" out to portay a gangster type person. The way in which they have took the picture of him is a big close up to show his facial expression to make him look like a rapper (which would be a more tough look). "Kanye Wests" head goes over the main title of the headline to show that he is the most important thing on the page. Also the contrasting colours that they have used (pink and blue) are put on to the page to make it more eyecatching which will draw you to look at the page. Also as they have used a large picture which would draw people to look at the magazine as it may be showing there favourate rapper. The writing around the main picture (Kanye West) the writing has formed a short of frame around the picture to draw you to look at the image and also as they do not want to show that the writing is more important then the picture.
