Magazine cover analysis (23 Sept 2014)

In this lesson we were taught how to properly analyse a magazine cover. 

As a class we analysed this magazine cover: 


  • Medium close up is used, we can see his attire.
  • The colour red is used to connote danger, however white creates a sense of purity.
  • Direct mode of address, looking straight at you.
  • The line “people have been comparing me to Tupac” attracts attention.
After I then chose my own magazine to analyse which was also on vibe too:




  •    Close up shot of Usher, centre of magazine
  •    In front of the title to show his importantance, main attraction
  •    Ring, watch, sunglasses to show wealth
  •    Bright bold coloured fonts and titles to capture attention
  •    Captions like “Usher, He’s No.1” make people want to read it
  •    Focused on his hand gesture because it looks like the controversial “middle finger” rest of his body is slightly blurred
