First front cover anaylsis

Front Cover Anaylsis

-Masthead:
The Masthead ‘Billboard’ has been written in a bold and simple font and is in the colour black, this is linking to the black and grey colour scheme of the whole cover, in some of the gaps of the letters are coloured blue and yellow this being used in every Billboard magazine. Although this time the whole mast head isn’t visible due to it being covered by the main image, it shows how this is a easily recognised magazine by the person buying it. 

-Colour Scheme:
The use of the black, grey and white makes the front cover look more professional, this is ironic as the main model image ‘Lady GAGA’ has a unique style therefore by using the dull colour scheme is in contrast. However, her light purple hair has been used around the magazine to link directly to the main image.

 -Target Audience: The target audience for this magazine
Is mainly directed at probably music fans as it includes
Stories that the audience are probably interested in, one magazine includes ‘How she writes pop hits’

Main Image:
The main image is of the music icon ‘lady gaga’ Who is known for her different styles of music, here she is wearing black clothing looking like she is trying to match the magazine, then she has a pop of colour which is her hair which is very eye catching. Then her hand is wearing some eye catching unusual jewellery which with the hair brings out her uniqueness. Her lack of clothing this could relate to the sell line which says ‘why doesn’t she wear pants’ However; this could be simply to draw in the reader.

The sell line:
The sell line 'Lady Gaga' is in large bold writing with the colour being black matching with the  colour scheme and its the same as the 'billboard' illustrating its as important as the magazine title. It's also next to the models light purple hair, making her stand out even more, therefore the audience know its lady gaga.
