research and planning: analysis of magazine cover


From both of the magazine covers it is clear that the magazine is aimed at teenagers/young adults. One of the reasons for this is because the artists on the front are both young women that aim their music towards teenagers and young adults in-particular. Also, the clothes that they are wearing portray the younger image. the magazine cover with Beyonce on also says 'women's music', this obviously gives the impression that the magazine is aimed at women. 
  The layout of each of the covers has the model as the centre point of the page. On the cover with Beyonce it is a medium long shot and the one of Miley is a mid shot. Both of the pictures cover some of the masthead, this suggests that readers will already be familiar with the cover enough to be able to know what it is without seeing the whole masthead. The covers stick to the three colour rule which makes them very easy on the eye and very easy to see the different parts of the cover. The coverlines are very easy to to read, they stand our and the get straight to the point. 
  The colours and images of both of the women makes the magazine give an 'older' vibe and quite serious, however like I said before, the artists attract younger ages.
