Magazine Analysis

To the left is a magazine front cover with an attractive layout. I have placed yellow lines around parts of the magazine that i would like to adapt to my own. There is a circle around the female character, she fills the complete page from top to bottom. Behind her head is the masthead, the images covers part of the title but its ok as the masthead is well known. The left vertical hold different font sizes and coloured text about specific things within the magazine, this is ideal to the reader as it gives the reader an insight into what they will read about if they purchase the magazine. If you look closely you can see that the reasoning behind the different font sizes and colour is due to it being a british magazine being sold in a foreign country. The masthead is highlighted for being world widely known, due to the images covering the title, people still have an understanding of the magazine. The barcode is placed in the bottom horizontal, once the audience have viewed the heading, images and content that will be held within the magazine they can then buy it and check the price. There is minimal expression of colour being used, main focus on green, black and red to focus the attention of the reader and not put them off by confusing them with wild amounts of colour and too much going on within the magazine front cover.
