Analysis of Front Cover
· - The conventions of the magazine have been broken, as the date line, the price
and the website have been printed at the bottom of the page instead of at the top
· - The cover lines are all down the right hand side of the
page
· - The main cover line is on the left hand side of the page – this separates it from the other cover lines, suggesting that it has more importance on the page
· - The masthead is in the top left corner of the page, which means that it doesn’t cover the majority of the top third of the page like most magazines – this therefore allows the main
image to take up more space on the page
· - The strapline/selling line is directly under the masthead
– it describes the magazine as “THE WORLD’S GREATEST MUSIC MAGAZINE”
· - The main image shows the artist standing with purpose, with his arms folded, which separates himself from the audience, but he still engages with the audience
by using a direct mode of address. The artist is also leaning against a loud speaker, which could associate with his music, as it suggests that it’s loud and quite powerful
· - The conventions of the left third is kept, as the main feature
article of the magazine is seen here
·
· - Drop-caps are used within the magazine
· - In-House: red, black and white are the house
colours of the magazine
- End marker are used at the end of articles
· - Pull quotes are used
