Analysis of magazine cover

4) Groupie Magazine


This magazine isn’t as well known as the previous ones which is why I think that its title is very large and obvious. Probably to make it more well known. The magazine cover is very simple and doesn’t have a lot of features on it.

The main image is of the popular and very original female singer ‘la roux’ La roux is known for her androgynous sense of style and originality. The main photo is a mid shot. I think a mid shot is the most appropriate photo as its not too zoomed or fussy. She is wearing a white ruffled shirt which stands out from the blue background. This makes it look very striking.

The background is a mixture of blues; it’s very sky like and contrasts with the paleness of her skin and the white shirt.

A play on words is used for the heading of ‘bon appetite, it’s la roux’ the font is red which make it stand out to the reader.

I don’t think I would be tempted to buy this magazine because of its lack of feature on the front, it doesn’t tell me what’s inside.
