This is the second of my analysis of magazine front covers. I have chosen Kerrang! When i look at this cover, i notice the photo more than the title. The photo overlaps the title. I may use this technique when making my own magazine front cover. I like the font of the title, it looks edgy, black font on a white background makes it stand out. It has a slight spray paint style to it. This cover also has an unusual layout. The writing is usually at the edges of the cover, but this one has images and text at the bottom. I also admire the photo because it is just the heads of the band. I was thinking of having a photo of one person with a guitar, although i think this has broadened my choice a bit more.
I'm impressed by the amount of effort you have put in so far Lydia, but I would like you to move beyond obvious GCSEish comments and progress onto more anlytical AS level comments. To do this you need to use far more media terms eg framing, composition, strpaline, callouts, bleed, gutter etc You should have a glossary of terms in your folder. Now try to use them as you continue your analysis.
