Music Magazine Cover

·   
·      The picture of the musician on the cover, covers nearly the whole of the headline, this means the magazine feel that they are well established that people will know that its there magazine by seeing just part of the headline, because this is the sign people know from all the publicity the magazine gets.

·      The structure of the magazine is very simple, it has the picture of the musician, with her name simply written with a by-line underneath, it also puts all of the other articles on one side of the age which makes all the writing seem sparse and simple, they are all written in the same font, there all intertextuality linked. They do this as they like the theme to stick with the image of the musician.

·      The only plug is the article about Nancy Pelos and how she “hits back” with her first ps interview, looking like you would be getting an exclusive with this magazine.

·      This magazine, targets music lovers as a whole, because it has three different genre bands all mentioned on the cover, rock, pop and country.

·      Underneath the musicians name it says “secrets of a good girl”, as this star has a squeaky clean image, her fans might buy into this as they want to know more about her and people may find this a new side to her and buy the magazine.

·      The overall view of the magazine is too concentrate on Taylor swift as she has the main headline as her name and blocks out most of the title with her picture , also the articles also have simple fonts are quite small to not take away from the spotlight from her.

  1. Really good first effort. Very detailed with some good engagement with new terminology. There is still scope to employ more semiotics though.Keep up the good work.
