This magazine cover is focusing on advertising to girls, we can see this because the background is pink which is the colour that society portrays as a girl colour. By putting Katy Perry on the front also attracts girls because her music is aimed at girls/ teenagers.
They have used many things to attract girls to this magazine such as; the flowers on the dress, the colours used on the cover, Katy Perry on the front and the type of outfit she is wearing.
The colours used inside the letter of the heading makes it stand out as they are bright against the other colours on the page. The bold black text also makes the heading stand out against the light pink background.
The writing around the page is showing what will be inside the magazine and will pull the audience in further to read whats inside. The name Katy Perry has been made to stand out from the rest of the text around the page. The different colours of text are to make the page look more interesting and draw the reader to different parts of the page.
The way Katy Perry has been put onto the page causes part of the magazine heading to be blocked out. This makes the cover look more interesting for us to lo9ok at and makes us think why it has been done (again making us think and be drawn in).
Magazine cover analysis- KERRANG
Kerrang is the worlds biggest selling weekly rock magazine, we get that type of feeling from the cover as the colours used don't look friendly and wouldn't attract a younger audience who are interested in pop music.
By the heading there is an effect which looks like there had been glass infront of it that has been smashed, this could be to show that the music the magazine is about is loud and violent.
The picture in the middle of the page of Paramore would attract an audience who likes their music. This magazine cover also doesn't have much text around the page which could show that the inside isn't going to have a lot of stories in. However instead of text being around the page there are more photos of the band which could just show to the audience that the magazine is just going to be about Paramore.
The bold black letters used for the heading make it stand out from the page as it has a white background behind. The background also makes the image of Paramore stand out because they are dressed in dark colours which make themas a group look bold and serious as well.
Magazine cover analysis- VIBE
Vibe is a magazine about urban music, this is why there is a picture of T.I on the front in the middle.
The colours of the magazine give a more serious look, this will help attract people interested in this music because younger people would look for brighter colours depending on the genre they like. There is not too much red on the cover in bold which would show either more romantic music (lighter red and pink) or violent and heavy music which would be a darker red.
The rest of the image could be in black and white to make it go with the suit that T.I is wearing. By wearing a suit it makes the magazine look more formal and grown up.
The heading is in bold red letters which makes it stand out against the black and white background.
The writing around the edge of the page is is also attracting the target audience by describing what is going to be in the magazine. This has also been put in black and red to stand out against the white background.
Vibe Magazine cover analysis 2
This cover is showing Rihanna in the middle of the page, this will immediately attract people who are interested in her or her music to the magazine. As we read the writing around the edge we also find out that there is information included about her relationship with Chris Brown. Including Chris Brown on the cover will also attract his fans to the magazine.
The heading has been put in white to make it stand out as the picture of Rihanna is in black and white with a blue background as well.
There isn't a lot of writing around the page which could be to show that the picture is showing what the magazine is mainly about.
Rihanna is an idol to many people which could be why she has been put on the front cover, because people will see her and want to read about her.
By using blue as the background cover and the colour of some of the writing could be to symbolise that they were treated as a 'Royal couple' as blue shows royalty and wealth.
Vibe magazine cover analysis 3
Eminem has been used for this magazine cover because he is a world famous rapper. He is popular to many people in their late teens, which is possibly why he has been used to attract a specific audience.
The colours used are showing that the magazine is not suitable for younger people, if the magazine was trying to attract a young audience they would have used bright colours to show that it a friendly magazine.
The title has been put in red and black fading out of each other to make it stand out from the page but not to take the attention away from Eminem. the writing around the page is in red and black to make it clear and easy to read. His name has been put in bold red letters to make it clear whos music is being advertised. This could also be for people who have heard of Eminem as an artist but do not know what he looks like.
He is wearing a black vest which makes him stick out against the background because if they put him in a grey top he would not stand out as much. The grey background might show that he/ his music is not pure, we know this because white symbolises purity.
Vibe Magazine Cover analysis 4
Kendrick Lamar is known to be the next biggest rapper. He has been used for this magazine cover to attract a specific audience. By having him on the magazine it might attract people who listen to his music or possibly people who are attracted to him.
The writing around the page is in black and red which shows that the magazine is not for younger people and is for older teens/ younger adults. The writing says what is going to be included inside the magazine and has been put in a clear font to make it easy for us to read.
The heading is in red to make it stand out from the page. It also fades out towards the bottom and goes over the picture of Kendrick Lamar which adds more effect to the page.
He is wearing white along with the background being white which could be to show that his music is pure. However magazine covers normally put the person on the front in a colour that stands out from the background.
