music magazine analysis:front covers

The Rolling Stones
the obvious focus of the magazine is amy, she is placed in the centre of the magazine catching the readers eye, as amy is the main story in this issue a large caption is placed at the bottom so it is clearly read and is not shadowing amy, two smaller headlines are towards the left hand side so they don't overcast amy but are red to standout more so the reader can gather more information of the magazine.

starring in the centre of the magazine is adele and is clear that she is the main article as she is the main focus in the magazine,she is in a dramatic pose to capture the readers attention. the captions are tightly packed together so the reader could get a lot of information in one look, the main caption is brightly placed in the lower half so that it doesn't shade over adele but shines to grab a potential buyers eye, the main header is rightly placed in the left top corner and brightly contrasts the colours of the rest of the magazine.

the magazine style is a lot different in the two Q magazines we've looked at, this style is a lot more fun and colourful, the stylised typography to look like Lana's handwriting gives a more personal feel to the magazine, the captions are more flown around rather than collectively together. In the centre of the magazine stands lana in a gruesome scenario, the photo is a satirical take on horror this makes the magazine look more catching to buyers.

  1. WWW: You have examined the significance of the artists in comparison to the magazine and reflect on how they are different.

    EBI: What terminology can you use to make this not just an examined piece but analysed?
