Techniques of a Music magazine

                        Techniques of a Music Magazine



We first had to learn how to analyse a music magazine, so therefore in advance Scott slowly broke down the techniques and names used on a magazine. This is a R'N'B magazine and the cover of the famous artist Ciara, the magazine target audience is for men quite obviously. The masthead of the magazine is 'VIBE' it tells us as the audience what genre of music the magazine is, R'N'B. The skyline is the text just above main title features other artists are of a similar genre. Teasers are always on the right hand side of the magazine it makes the reader want to read more. Barcode, pricing, date and website is in the right hand corner so it is easy to access more information on the website. Lower left third- it's where the direct eye contact goes to as we naturally read from the left to right. Pull on quotes- play on words ' stand up!' the image itself is a long shot as it shows the whole body from head to toe, I think this definitely appeals to the audience as it is a sexual and relates towards men as they would want to buy the magazine because of the front cover. The main cover line tends to be the second largest line and says the name of the artist itself.
