Task 1A Analyse the front cover of a magazine

Masthead: NME is the largest


text on the page. It also has
its own font and is in a
different colour to the rest of
the page.
Header: summarises the main bands that will be in the
magazine. The bands included in this header are all
indie or indie rock. So it shows that the audience would
be into indie music.
Main cover
line/Grab quote:
The quote has
been ripped from
the magazine and
placed on the
cover to show
what the tone and
themes of the
main interview.
Main image: the image is a long
shot, however his crouched
posture means that you get a
more close up look at the model,
who happens to be MR Dizzee
Rascal. He was used to excite the
target audience as he is different
to what is usually on the cover.
Direct address is also used to
involve the audience.
The footer lists other bands that
appear in the magazine, the use of
the plus sign at the beginning of the
footer suggests that there is a lot
going on in the magazine.
Puff: Used to give extra bit of
news to readers on the cover,
the mention of the band
Pavement will excite the
target audience.
Main sell line: The mention
of the artist Dizzee Rascal
is used so boldly to bring
readers in who are fans of
this artist.
Rule of thirds is used to
ensure that the main model is
in a hotspot, particularly on
the left side, as this could be
the only part of the page that
people will see before buying
