#2 Deconstruction of magazine cover

There is lots of different text and colours on this magazine front cover. The name of the magazine is in white and is very bold. It is very noticeable and has been placed in a great place. The font throughout the cover is very clear and easy to read. The colours a mainly white and yellow or a dark background. This means that the text is easy to identify and to read. The colour scheme for this particular magazine is very dark and gloomy and it doesn't stand out as much as other magazines do.

The body language of  Drake in the photo on the cover is as if he's slouching but looking directly at you.They have done this because the want you to feel like he is looking directly at you when you pick up the magazine. This draws people in because they then feel involved with the magazine.Because he is wearing a black t-shirt the cover then has the main sell  line right across him. This is affective because as they are looking at him readers will clearly see the words "UNSTOPPABLE" written across the front of the cover. This particular sell line will defiantly grab the viewers attention and they will then buy the magazine because they will want to read more about the story.

The framing on the cover is that Drake is right in the centre of the page. This is to ensure that people clearly see him, as he is a popular artist people like him and want to find out any bit of information on him. On the right side of his face you can see some light, this tells me that he is standing opposite to a light which is bounding off his face. This gives us the impression that although he is mysterious he is also gentle and he has lots to tell.

The composition of the cover is that Drake is placed in the centre of the cover. There is yellow and white sell lines around his body and a main sell line right across the bottom of the page. The bar code is placed on the bottom left of the page. The header is placed at the top of the page and it features lots of popular artists such as "Lil Wayne and Kobe" and "Kellis". This has been done because you will see the top of the page and you will also want to know more on these particular people.
