Research and Planning: cover analysis

This is a dubstep magazine cover that I have taken from the internet. The first thing that I noticed about this magazine is that it does not have the masthead at the top of the magazine and it is instead on the left hand side. This will be something i have to consider when I create my own magazine cover. The magazine has one main picture that covers the whole face of the cover. The text on the magazine is not like any other magazine cover that will usually have subheadings on peoples stories instead the sub headings on this magazine show new artists and newly released tracks.

The colour scheme on this magazine cover is white, green and black. I will have to take this into account when i make my own magazine cover. The image on the cover is what looks like a man rapping, the enviroment looks comfortable and there is also expensive electronical equipment on show. This could aspire the audience to be like the rapper so that they can to live a comfortable life style and be rich.

I think that the target audiecne of this magazine would be people at the age of 16 - 25 and mainly male. This is because both of the people on the front of the magazine are men and they also look young.
