Front cover of a music magazine analysis 2:

Title: the title is big and bold and very noticeable. The red is contrasting to the rest of the colours and by far the most noticeable which connotes its importance and that it is used to attract readers.

Slogan: this being next to the main focus draws attention to it and it makes the reader want to buy it as it’s a special edition.

Sell line: the bold sell line does attract attention but does not steal attention away from the exclusives list.

Main image: beyonce is used as a main selling point as she has high status compared to the others in the list. Her brown skin and white dress link with the colour scheme as though the magazine has a colour scheme to suit her. She is looking straight at us to make a connection with the buyer. The sunlight behind reflecting on her makes her seem almost angelic and innocent. The umbrella connotes her being protected.

Puff: this being red ties in with the title in being red and attracting attention away from the rest of the page. This puff makes buying this magazine more worthwhile.

The colours tie in with beyonce’s colours which connotes the magazine is all for her. The red is a contrast which attracts the eye and connotes there are other things more important than her.

Lead story: the main story is not focused on beyonce herself but she is apart of a list of exclusive interviews. She would attract most attention which denotes Q are thinking about the reader’s preferences and interests. the title attracting most attention coincides with the fact she is not the main focus.
