Main storyThe main story featured is very clear to the reader as there isn’t many stories on the cover and it is made to stand out above everything else. Like the heading the main story is in capitals and in a bright red. This grabs the attention of the reader straight away and then allows them to see the quote above related to it, so they’re then interested in the story. The heading of the story clearly states who the story’s about so this will appeal to anyone who likes this artist.

Main imageThis image is very eye-catching as it’s quite different to other cover photos. Not many cover photos will use cigarettes on their image, however this one does and it has a big impact on the reader. The laid-back, ‘I don’t care’ look that Mia is using gives the reader the impression that she is quite a fun and interesting person. This will appeal to some people and intrigue them enough to buy the magazine.

Colour schemeThe colour scheme is red, white and blue. This is quite an eye-catching colour scheme as they red and blue are quite bold colours and they all stand out against each other.

StoriesThe stories will appeal to the reader as although there aren’t many they are interesting. They are placed strategically down the side of the cover so the main image is shown a lot. The special edition story may appeal to big fans of the magazine as they may want to collect them.
