image anlysis

Every magazine has a main focus point. this is usually an image which is related to the main story line. On this magazine the main focus is an image of Britney spears as she is the largest image on the page. All of the images are mid shots, of just the bikini area as this is what the main article is about. The magazine is targeted to young women, we know this as the story lines are about young celebrities, and this is what young women are interested in. There are many story lines featured on the front page, this attracts buyers as it shows that the magazine is full of interesting gossip. The front cover has a lot of text, which is in different fonts, this could be to represent that they are different articles. The Masthead is recognisable to regular buyers of the magazine, this is one of the main conventions that remain the same, On this front cover the masthead is behind the images, this gives the font cover a sense of depth, and the images are what are needed to be focused on. However this is not a problem as the masthead is still readable so therefore it does not affect it being half covered. The text 'Surprise Beach Bodies' is in a yellow font colour this could be to represent the colour of sand and sunshine as the article is referring to topics to do with the beach.
