Research and planning analysis of music magazine covers

I think the genre for this music magazine is pop music because the masthead clearly suggests this as the font style is bold and nice. Also, the use of an popstar as a model for the main image suggests this. The main image is a medium close up which clearly shows the model's expressions. And I think this magazine has been represented in a good way, your mood would change after seeing this because the model is smiling and lots of positive colours have been used to illustrate this. The layout of this magazine is very organised and easy to understand so the audience would engage with it easily and quickly. The audience for this magazine would be young adults and teenagers because most youngsters would be interested in this type of magazine and pop music.



 


This magazine is quite clearly a pop magazine as the masthead speaks for itself. The choice colours are very girlie and the layouts are very smart because there isn't too much text to confuse the audience therefore, I think the audience of this magazine would be youngsters and anyone who would be interested in pop music. Medium close up shot has been used so that the face expressions of the model can be seen and this model seems happy therefore, the magazine is representing positiveness though the use of image. Other images have been used too to show other stories inside the magazine instead of lots of text.
