Analysing Magazine Front Cover

I have chosen to evaluate more magazine front cover. This will help me when I am making a college magazine.

The masthead is the name of the magazine; it stands out so the audience can see it straight away. The masthead changes every week, it is still written in the same font but different colours are used.  The masthead is in pink what shows that the magazine is for girls.

The magazine has the price and the barcode on the front cover. The price is in big writing and on a yellow background and is black writing to make it stand out and attract the audience in. The price is under the masthead to show that it is important. It also is the tag line. They have write ‘wow’ in capital letters so it stands out.

The image is of Katy Perry; this shows they have used a celebrity on the front cover to make people buy it. She is wearing bright red lipstick what makes her stand out. Also her name is written big and is in a stylish font and pink so it stands out to people.  Also it says a quote from her interview what makes the audience want to read it. Also the word ‘definitely’ is in pink when the rest of the writing is in white what makes that one word stand out.

Cover lines are used to make the audience want to read the magazine. One of the cover lines is ‘how to make a man propose’ it is written in capital letters so the audience can see it, it is in pink to attract the audience into wanting to read it. 

Also it shows that the magazine is for a younger audience because the people who are reading it have not yet been proposed to.

Also there are images of the latest clothes what will make the audience want to know what the latest trends on. This also shows that their target audience is young people, because young people want to know what the latest trends are.  The clothes are all colorful clothes so when the audience see it, it will stand out for them.
