Music Magazine

The main photo is the most eye catching.

All fonts are the same but the colours are faded differently, this is good because it doesn’t get to complex.

The expensive jewellery he's wearing is also very appealing.

Most of the colours used are bright which gives a more upbeat mood.

The layout of the text is ordered well, each sentence equally spaced out between them.

The magazine are getting direct with the people reading it as they ask a question, ‘Who is music's number one genius’.

The whole quality of this front cover is a high quality, from the quality of the texts to what he is wearing all gives a high quality standard.

The music magazine is ultimately talking about who is the best and how to succeed and be the best.
