Analysing the Front Cover of a Magazine

Image result for vogue magazines
 Image: In this magazine the main image is placed directly in the middle of the magazine.The image takes up most of the space of the front cover. This camera angle is nearly full shot; just about cute below the knees. The main image is displayed in  a beguiling, womanly,way that is appealing to the audience. Her body is positioned is a S shape that exposes her curves.

Cover lines: The cover lines fill in any spaces around the main image,but also some overlaps the main image. The typography of the cover lines looks to be a San  serif type of font. Its easy to read, simple and shows sophistication. They are all positioned around the main image on each side.

Main cover line: The main cover line is at the top third on the right side of the main image (WORLDS MOST BEAUTIFUL BODIES). this cover line takes up the most space compared to the other cover lines. The font is simple and more so overlaps the main image then any other cover line. presenting it's important allowing it to stand out the most. The cover line is also and clue of what the magazine is going to be about. Though the actual  full cover line is " secrets behind the WORLDS MOST BEAUTIFUL BODY" This will surely interest a reader by wanting to know what the secrets will be.

Title/colour:  This is a master head, as the typography is known. Making the reader familiar with the magazine.The title is positioned at the top of the magazine. though the title is bold in thickness, the colour isn't bright enough that it overlaps with the main image's hair. Perhaps this was done on purpose to allow the attention to be naturally drawn to Rihanna. Precisely when looking at the magazine Rihanna's hair pops out. the reader will still notice the familiar font in the background.

Tagline: The main tagline is "WORLDS MOST BEAUTIFUL BODIES"  this is positioned on the right side of the magazine near the main's images head. As if to level with her: making a statement  of indication what a beautiful body looks like.  This is because right by the tagline Rihanna's body is clearly represented. Positioned in a way that enhances her curves. The tagline takes up enough space so that it is noticeable. Also enough so it just about overlaps  the main image.  The fact that the tagline is in capital letters perhaps means it did not need to take up anymore space. On the other side of the magazine, Rihanna's name is clearly presented in all capital letters. which displays the importance of the celebrity.  Furthermore this refers to the statement : "WORLDS MOST BEAUTIFUL BODIES".  The fact that the tagline is also in full capital letters similarly to Rihanna's name. Just shows the significance of the statement.


Date:
Here On this magazine a well known artist called Rihanna is on the front cover of vogue. She is a Barbadian singer and songwriter. She represents a strong successful female. That seems to ooze confident mainly targeting females as to be inspiring. Her own culture highlights to target people from the Caribbean.
