Pop magazine analysis

Pop Magazine Analysis 1

MastHead: The masthead has been written in a big bold black font which is easy to read, this same masthead is used for all of Billboards magazine covers which makes it recognisable to its frequent readers. The "a" and the "d" have been coloured in blue and yellow which implies its more fun and inviting for the readers this suggests its target audience could range from teens to young adults.

Main Image: The main image is of Pop singer Katy Perry, she takes up the majority of the page with a mid-shot. The image is in front of the masthead  which is unusual this shows her importance to this issue of the magazine. In this image she is wearing a short flowery dress as well as having real flowers wrapped around her body and hair, the bright colours of the flowers stand out against her dark hair and light skin complexion. She is looking towards the camera making it seem as though she is directly staring at the reader almost saying "Im interesting, read me". 

House Style: The house style is pink, yellow and black. The colours pink and yellow have connotations of summer and warmth which are welcoming towards the reader. The pink used for the entire cover is light which doesn't drown out the image of Katy Perry, also the black font rests nicely on this shade. 

Main Coverline: The main coverline is only a few font sizes smaller than the masthead this suggests its importance to this issue of the magazine. The Main coverline is just the name of the artist this allows the reader to know what the main subject will be inside the magazine.

Coverlines: The coverlines are mainly yellow and black which stand out against the pink background and makes it easy for the readers.
