PRE - PRODUCTION: Front cover analysis


The conventions for this music magazine front cover had attracted me more than any other and had also influence me on my own music magazine, for starters the colour scheme, a clear, smooth grey background with the use of black text and red embellishments to guide the viewers eyes all around the page.

The use of the massive celebrity all across the entire page of which has a direct mode of address really attracts the audience, the mean look on his face shows a sense of hip hop and that he also means business, making the readers want to look into this.

The use of huge text to promote the celebrities name, nice and creative a great technique in keeping everything busy and short for the viewer.

The masthead in red, so that the viewer immediately knows which magazine this is as it is the colour which stands out on the page.

The text is very well placed, not too much to read and has alot of brief information showing what this magazine has to offer to the reader .


This issue of enemy is another with the smooth colour of grey in the background whilst using the colour of red as an embellishment to guide the readers eyes all around the page, the girl spread across the page, draws alot of attention to her, showing that this magazine is " cool " as the girl is rebellious as she is smoking and the way she is dressed is very laid back, like an " i dont care " view.

The soft white tone to show what this magazine has for everyone to see inside and the bold masthead in the top left corner clearly showing off who they are and guiding the viewers eyes at the same time.

aswell as the previous front cover this one has a use of big text on the front, a nice creative style to promote the central celebrity on the front cover.



On this front cover of vibe like my previous covers, this one contains once again big writing, the use of big writing shows a sense of creativity and is used not the get the target audience of the magazine bored by just reading the front cover.

also the use of red as an embellishment was once again used in this front cover, it is clear that it is a great colour to guide a viewers eyes, the small sectioned information on what is in this magazine once again keeps the magazine exciting, leaving the readers to want to find out more.

the main image of the celebrity is centralized across the entire height of the page, attracting the audience to him immediately.

the celebrity being in formal wear such as the suit gives off a sense of formality and maturity in this magazine alongside the direct mode of address and smile, automatically bringing the viewers in wondering what this guy is about as this is an urban magazine
