Analysis of magazine front covers
1. In the top left corner stands out a
yellow circle with green black and
red, bold outstanding writing. This is
too advertise the magazine with a
free product, this being a free Reggae
CD as it is a Bob Marley special.
The graphics and the colour
scheme stay’s consistent
throughout the Mag. The main
colours are classic reggae
colours Yellow, Green and Red,
as again it’s a Reggae Bob
Marley edition of “Mojo”. The
Main image of Bob has been
put into a black and white
format, this has been done to
make the reggae colours stand
out and make it clear to the
reader what this edition is
about.
The “MOJO” masthead drops
behind the top of the main image
giving the effect that the main
image of Bob Marley sticks
out, making it clear that this is a
Bob Marley edition of the Mag.
The main image takes up most of
the page, apart from the bottom
left, which is filled with a image of
the free CD in the edition.
The “plus” here is written in red
and is bold, this is to draw the
attention of the reader, so they can
then see what else is inside the
mag this edition. Stuff like “1970
greatest year in music?” this is
reaching out to the older audience
they have.
2. In the edition of mix mag, the
masthead again like the MOJO mag I
analysed is staying with the codes
and conventions of magazines and
has dropped just behind the cover
image, making the magazine all about
the cover star. David Guetta. The
masthead stands out as it is in a
bright yellow.
The graphics and colour scheme of this
magazine all stay consistent, of a yellow
and white, I believe this is to match with
the album David Guetta released just
before this mag which was the same
colour scheme. This colour scheme is very
clever as it immediately grabs the reader
and draws them in. Outstanding the
important words even in the side stories
such as “TUNES” “ALBUMS REVEALED” To
make the exciting things jump out at the
reader.
The selling line for this magazine is right at
the top above the masthead, “the worlds
biggest dance music and clubbing magazine”
Small print of what the rest of the magazine
features, still keeping to the consistent yellow
and white colour scheme, meaning even
though it is written small, it still grabs the
readers attention.
3. The masthead “DJ” again, similar to
the codes and conventions of
magazine front covers, drops just
behind the main image, making it clear
who this edition is about, Afrojack.
Also, the website of the magazine is
embedded in the “D” of the “DJ”
which is really clever as it is in
yellow, so it also stands out and is
clearly visible. The main heading takes
up a lot of space too, saying “Afrojack
in the house” making it obvious to the
reader, along with a main image of
Afrojack, that this edition is about
Afrojack.
The colour scheme on this
magazine stays consistent, with
red with a yellow and white
font, making the cover lines and
buzzwords stand out so the
reader can see what is included
inside. Underneath the headline
“afrojack in the house” in yellow
it says “interview by” letting the
reader know there is an exclusive
interview with afrojack inside.
Above the masthead and the main
image, is “TOMORROWLAND IN
PICTURES” in capitals and white font on a
black background, making it clear to the
reader that inside this edition there is the
pictures of the recent
festival, tomorrowland.
