Analysis of Front cover

The last cover i am going to analyse is this addition of Rap-Up.
This front cover is very simple and plain. it is set on a light grey background which makes the magazine quite bright. The writing is bold and black. there is bold writing near the bottom of the picture which says 'stop and stare', this makes the reader look clearly at the magazine and do exactly what it says 'stop and stare'. underneath this it has 'introducing' with three band new singers names underneath it on different coloured bright backgrounds. the background colours of this writing is taken from the colours of the clothing of the three girls on the cover who are all using their hands to do the 'stop' sign.

the clothing the three girls are wearing is a reflection of their personalities. for example the girl on the left is Teyana Taylor. She also raps in some of her songs, she is the only girl on this cover wearing trainers which reflects a bit of attitude.
Also the colours used in their clothing is very electric which makes them stand out. Showing that they are new into this industry.
lastly, the three new attractive girls on the cover will make the audience want to read inside and find out more about these acts.

Analysis of Front cover

The second magazine cover I am going to analyze is this Vibe music magazine.

This magazine has a plain black background with a white title which makes it stand out clearly which makes it eye catching. the writing on the rest of the page has an electric yellow and also more white writing. using the black background allows the colors of the writing to stand and to attract the reader/audience.

There is a picture of the rapper, Drake, who has become one of the most loved and well known rappers of this present day. the expression in the picture makes him come across as a typical bad boy, which is the main look for a rapper. He is also wearing a plain black shirt which blends in with the background of the magazine. in white writing on his t-shirt it has the word 'unstoppable'. This makes the reader want to buy this magazine to fine out why or to find out the latest about the well known rapper. On the right and side of the picture in the main headline about Drake, in electric yellow writing is his name in capital letters. underneath this it says 'hip-hops new religion'. This writing is quite striking to the reader/audience.

Around the magazine there are other story lines to attract the audience. for example 'exclusive: Chris brown the definitive interview'. these stories are recent headlines in the music industry so they will make most of the public want to buy the magazine to find out the truth and read all about it.
