The master head is

covered by Alicia

Keys’ head, this

shows that the

company is

established and

people don’t need to

see the title to know

what the magazine

is called

Constant colour

scheme throughout

the magazine,

Orange and Blue.

The names of artists

are in colour and the

information is in

black so the artist

stands out more

There is an

exclusive story in

this magazine so

fans of Alicia Keys

will automatically be

interested

An extra story which

is not relevant to the

front cover but may

interest any music

fans of any genre

The colour of her

dress matches the

colour of the title,

and creates a

separate theme to

the blue and orange

names of people

There are two

different colour

schemes, one which

is made to stand

out, orange and

blue, and then one

which gives the

information, black.

Black is also the

colour of her dress

She is dressed very

smart and

sophisticated, this

could be because

the story is a very

sensitive topic

Price and barcode

are written in the

corner

In this image the

name of the

magazine is also put

behind, because

people can

automatically

recognise what

magazine it is by the

font style

Names of artists are

written larger so

they stand out more

to people, and if

they see someone

they like they will

buy the magazine

This looks like it has

been pasted over

the top, and people

can assume that it is

irrelevant to the

other stories in the

magazine, it is just

something people

may be interested in

reading about.

There is a dark

colour scheme

throughout the front

cover, which can be

a sign of fierceness

rather than bright

and happy colours

Silver, black and

white are prominent

colours throughout

the magazine

They give you an

idea of what the

story is about, here

it says Can Shakira

conquer the world,

this could be to do

with the success of

her music

internationally.

Shakira’s hair is

being blown back

which shows

dominance and her

facial expression

makes her seen

very important.

Main Image: This is a Medium Long Shot because you can see her

entire body

The date of publication is shown at the top so people know

that what they’re reading is in date, they also have websites

written here so people can find more information

Throughout the

three front covers I

have analysed the

person on the cover

has been covering

the name of the

magazine. From this

magazine we can

automatically

recognize that it is

Billboard magazine

because of the

orange fill in the d

A similar effect to

the title has been

used with his name,

everybody already

knows that it is

Justin Bieber so his

name doesn’t need

to be totally visible,

and there is a hint at

what the story will

be about written

over his name.

The same effect has

been used here as

with Justin Bieber’s

name, the

information has

been written over

the Flame in Waka

Flocka Flame

The information is

displayed very

neatly in this

magazine, rather

than being all over

the place, it is put in

one corner where

you can find out

about various

stories in the

magazine

Main image –

Medium shot, you

can see the majority

of his body but it

cuts off his legs. The

image is in front of

ALL the text, except

this one, which

could mean that this

has nothing to do

with Justin Bieber

Issue number, date

and websites are

displayed at the top

so people know the

magazine is in date,

and know where

they can find more

info

Her tongue is out

which shows that

she’s a rebellious

person

This cover is very

extreme, it may be

because Miley

Cyrus used to be a

children's

entertainer and has

completely changed

her image. At the

time this cover was

released everyone

was talking about

Miley Cyrus and

how she has

changed so much

because such a

drastic change

would shock people.

This cover wouldn’t

be as shocking if it

were somebody like

Rihanna doing it,

She has shining

jewellery, which

shows wealth but no

clothes.

The hot list is

irrelevant to the front

cover but this

catches the people’s

attention who aren’t

interested in Miley

Cyrus

Colours and theme: Nicki Minaj’s lips match the colour of the text, and her dress matches the colour of her hair. The

colours are very girly and fits in with Nicki Minaj’s theme, her music is mainly targeted towards girls (although boys will

listen too). Her albums are all titled Pink Friday… which again is very girl and out there, this article fits in with that. Her

ring spreads across four fingers and reads the word ICON, this shows she’s very important and popular in the music

industry.

The reason the theme is pink could be to do with the fact that rap is mainly dominated by men, and appeals to men,

Nicki Minaj may say she’s changed the rap industry by making it feminine, which explains the extreme use of pink.

Direct eye

contact with the

camera,

meaning she’s

focused

The text curves

around her body

and nothing

comes in front of

her, making it

look like she is

standing in front

of it, her name is

covered by her,

because people

are more likely

to recognise her

by her face than

her name

because she’s

that popular and

unique

The letter L is the only coloured thing on the page, L being the first letter of Lady Gaga. This already shows that it is

very dominant and the page will only be about Lady Gaga

The image takes up the same amount of space, because people will be able to instantly recognise her this way

The colour scheme is powerful and epitomises Beyoncé. The purple symbolises royalty. She’s wearing some kind of

metal armour which makes it seem like she is really important and a leader of something.

The metal armour links to the title, Fierce; Beyoncé is also known by her alter ego Sasha Fierce which is who she acts

as when she preforms, somebody fierce is likely to wear armour to protect them

White text on coloured background The text at the top is bolder than the word “Creative”

She’s wearing very

strong make up which

is showing that she’s

feminine and proud,

however the look in her

eyes also shows that

she’s powerful and can

be just as powerful as a

man

The name and logo

of the magazine and

the date is still

present but is shrunk

down.

The colour red and

black are prominent,

these colours

represent importance

and power

The first person is

wearing a lot of bling

which shows that

they are wealthy,

from this we can

assume the second

person is also

wearing lots of

accessories but we

can’t see because of

the way he is

standing – you can

see the top of a

necklace.Page number so

people can easily
