  Masthead The mastheadis placed at the top left hand corner as this is how the readers will recognise the magazine when it is in the shelves in a shop, this has to be the boldest thing so it’s the first thing noticed, this is why the title of this magazine is in big block letters and all one colour so it is eye catching and engaging to see. Underneath this is the date and price of the magazine so you know how current it is and how much you are paying for it.

  Main Image Themain image is an image of the featured artist in this case Jake Bugg, that is in black and white, this stands out because it doesn’t fit in with the colour scheme at all and is probably so it look different and unique, the greyscale picture is good to use because as everything else is in colour or bordered with colour is doesn’t blend in with the rest of the cover and your attention is not taken away from it after you notice it

  Colour Scheme Thiscolour scheme of magazines usually sticks to three main colours, in this case yellow, red and white. There is text with a bright background to make it stand out an some of the text is in different colours if it is the name of an artist or something important that they want you to pick up on. For example there is a small section of text about Jake Bugg going to America with Noel Gallagher and because he is famous his name is in a different colour font to the rest of the text.

  Puff There isa circular puff underneath the title to show a features story, this one is about an upcoming tour and a competition to win tickets to attend, it is featured on the front page along with what page it is on inside the magazine because it is a big feature story and something new they want everyone to know about.

  Buzzword There isa smaller less important story in small text in the bottom right corner above the barcode bit buzzwords such as ‘BIG’ are used to show it is still a good story and features an interview with famous artists.

  Smaller Images Inthe top right corner there are small images bordered in white to help them stand out of an artist with a quote from him underneath to show that there is a story about him included and the quote shows that it may be an interview so fans of the artist would be more interested to find out what’s going on and what the story is about to follow up the quote that they read on the cover.
