2. The mast head is in the middle of the magazine and is in white. Some of the
letter have got bright colors filled in them. This could resemble how he fun side
of magazine and the amount of exciting news its providing to the audience. The
bright color also catch the readers attention straight away even if they’re not
looking for that magazine. The use of dull colors would not have the same
effect. However when the magazine is stacked on the store shelves the whole
masthead wont be shown and this may mean readers are not able to spot the
magazine easily.
This cover line has the
biggest font size as it is
telling us who the star on
the font is and that this
one of the main stories in
the magazine
The rest of the cover lines are
a lot smaller to show they’re
not as important
The house style of
the magazine is
mainly red, black and
white. The use of red
and white links back
to the masthead, and
the black could be
used as a contrast to
the white and to
make things stand
out
A convention of magazines
is also a barcode on the
front, however some
magazines may have the
barcode on the back so that
it doesn’t cover aspects of
the front cover
This picture is of
Miranda Lambert who
is a well known singer
in country music. The
way her hair and make
up is done resembles
the delicateness of
country music, as her
look very soft and her
makeup is simple put
really defines her facial
features. The use of a
close up shot also helps
to resemble the
delicateness of this
photo.
Certain cover lines are highlighted in
black and red this could be because all
the writing is white and for it to stand
out on that bit of the picture it had to
be highlighted. Its also makes the
celebrities names stand out compared
to the other short sentences describing
things in the magazine as readers
always want to know who feature in the
magazine.

3. The main cover line is a lot
bigger compared to the rest
this so its clear who the
person on the front of the
magazine is.
All of the cover lines start of
with the name of the celebrity
its about and the colour of the
name is in yellow, this could
be to so that it stands out to
the audience and attracts
them in to buying the
magazine if there a fan of the
celebrity. the font of all the
cover lines are formal giving a
serious look to the magazine
this also matches the serious
facial expression on Faith Hill's
face, however this contrasts
with the masthead, the pug
and the footer.
The house style of country music is mainly a rusty
brown and red with white and yellow as well. The
colours used are not feminine or masculine and this
helps to attract both genders to read the magazine.
The font of the masthead has a very old country edge
to it. The way it goes from big letters to small and
then big again could represent how gently country
music flows. The fact that the image covers the
masthead slightly shows us that the magazine gives
the importance to the celebrities they're featuring
This pug is giving the reader a chance to
support there favorite singer/band. The
fact that the word “vote” is in yellow and
the rest is in white means that the
magazine wants to make sure the
audience sees that first. The pug is also
slanted showing that its informal.
The way Faith is standing in this photo
looks like she's inviting the readers in to
the magazine with her, as her body is
facing away but her head is turned to
toward us, like she's waiting for us to
follow . Her hair again is shown as very
light and free, representing how free
country music is. Her picture could also
inspire younger women making them
want to buy the magazine
The magazine has not included a
barcode on the front this could be to
make the magazine more aesthetically
pleasing.

4. The masthead is red on white which is very strong and is automatically on of the
first things the target audience sees. The font also has a shadow behind the it
almost as if its jumping out to the reader, it also emphasizes the importance of it
compared to the cover lines.
The font of this cover line is
bigger then the rest this is
to show that this is the
magazines main article and
also tell the readers who
the person on the front of
the magazine is too. The
word love is written in red
this is because the colour
red represents love and
passion. To make it stand
out even more it uses a
different font which is a lot
more delicate and feminine,
this font style could be used
to show how fragile love is
and to show how delicate
Taylor Swift is.
This header is telling the readers who else
features in the magazine. The font colors
are pink and black which is the same as the
cover lines the fact its not different shows
us its not that important. It also doesn't’t
have a shadow like the masthead showing
its not a s important as
The picture of Taylor Swift used on the
cover is not how you would expect the
image to be presented as the image is
usually in the center of a magazine.
However the image takes over most of the
space and stands out on the white
background. This would defiantly attract
Taylor Swift fans. Her hair is blonde and
curly which makes her look careless and
free just like country music. The way her
hands are positioned also links to the cover
line about her as she is shown in a very
delicate and girly way, that the audience
would just fall in love with her.
The fact that this cover line is on the other
side of the rest means that its one of the
first thing the reader sees as there's not a
lot to read. It also has win in big letters
and this makes a Taylor's fans want to buy
the magazine more.

pink, red , white and black these colours all

her sex appeal

black background makes the story stand out better and the font style and
colour of the word revealed attracts the reader. It helps convince the reader
to buy the magazine as they're being revealed a secret

other articles featured in the magazine because
her picture takes over majority of the magazine.
The white background helps give her the
importance.
The picture looks slightly out of place
though as its got no link to music
considering it’s a music magazine
The fact that she’s holding a
huge mushroom in the
picture gives the reader a
glimpse of her spontaneous
personality. Her facial
expression also helps
ensure she’s very
spontaneous. This also tells
us that the magazine is very
informal
A quote has also been
included which is from the
artist and this is giving a sneak
peak of what will be in the
magazine.

bold to show its important

her. However it could also attract male
readers as she is made to look very
attractive in the photo. A caption has also
been included at the bottom of the image
saying “Teri Clark gets serious” this shows
the reader that she means business and
this is reinforced by her eyes as she is
looking straight at the camera.
