Magazine cover analysis 2!!

Masthead: The masthead is always at the top and not at the bottom or middle because if the masthead is at the top the audience will be more attracted and interested to
read the magazine and also all the magazines in the shops are always on top of each other so if the masthead is at bottom or middle the audience would not be able to see
the name and buy the magazine no matter how good the magazine is or if they are interested in that type of magazine. In my opinion I suggest that the size of the font is
suitable because it is not too big or small it is the right size for this magazine because it is quite plain and it also attracts the people who the magazine is aimed at. Also the
colour (black and etc) of the magazine reflects really well with the background colour of the magazine and other colours used in the magazine. The font of the masthead is;
modern, solid ( by solid I mean the font is very bold and simple) this type font is not used in hip stylish magazine. I think the magazine title was chosen as Billboard because
inside the magazine the audience would get to read about different celebrities and it also suggests that it is the best magazine out of rest of the magazines around and I think

Layout: Key image; of Justin bieber , direct eye contact with the audience, quit simple not much going on , good colours used, celebrities name quite big on the corner to
attract the audience, music player because Justin bieber is a singer so there connection between him and thing so that might attract and convince them to buy the
magazine . Also there is not any other celebrities either.
Conclusion: Over all in my opinion this is quit simple but I would still buy it and I do not think that this magazine contains things like pencils etc like the other magazine. The
target audience would buy this magazine even though its expensive because they are interested.

Equipment : Most magazines take pictures of celebrities holding things or wearing really fancy or if its a fashion magazine then the models wear unnormal cloths whereas in
this magazine cover celebrity (ASTON) is holding a little teddy or something to look cute and adorable and attract girls.
Layout: Key image; good posses, direct eye contact by direct eye contact I mean the celebrities are looking directly at the audience would make the audience feel involved and
not left and make them interest to read the magazine. Also the pictures of celebs are close up pictures to make the audience want read and see different sight of the celebs .
Text; The anchorage text is very bold and bright to attract the audience. By bright and bold I mean the text is big and it is colourful and uses bright which reflect each other
and have a good effect on the background colour as well. In this mag cover there is lots of male celebs to attract girls who are their fans and the texts are in front of them and
not behind them because then the audience will not be able to read the text and the mag and also if the text is in front of them then the audience can see both the text the
celeb and interested and buy from the retailers.
Techniques: Colours relevant to the audience, Main image and other images chosen to attract the audience, features designed for the audience to desire to know more and
read it, hot topics( sex, fashion, problems about celebrities and their life, new products out)
Conclusion: Over all in my opinion this magazine is a very good magazine to read for the target audience who it is aimed who are teenagers and some kids. Also the
advertising of the magazine is always good but its not very cheap when it contains things like pencils etc. The magazine front cover always has celebrities who are known very
