Professional Analysis of a Music Magazine Front Cover
For this task I have been asked to professionally analyse the codes and
conventions of a music magazine front cover.
Sub Images
• The images are either images of artists or bands.
Articles
• Some articles are titled by the name of the band or artist.
Features
• Features in a magazine are the things that are only in it for that issue. For example the magazine could have an exclusive interview with Noel Gallagher. This would be a one off and wouldn’t feature again maybe for another year or so.
Regular Content
• Regular content is the things that appear in every issue of a music magazine, for example Top 50 countdowns, or fan mail or puffs, games and quizzes.
Columns
• Magazine contents pages are set out in columns and they are then easy for the reader to read and understand the features and articles in the magazine.
• A clear layout puts all of the features and articles into simple form and this draws the attention of the reader.
