Magazine cover analysis

Masthead- Sans serif, bold, bright colour on a white background making it stand out, all capitals 

The colour scheme on the front of this magazine of red, white and blue and gold with some of the writing in black as well, the colours go with the masthead and appeal to the reader, the bright colour of red is eye catching a draws your attention to the magazine when it is seen

The use of pull quotes has been used on this front cover giving a quote from Tyler the Creator saying “I DONT GIVE A SH*T ABOUT A ROYAL WEDDING” to some readers and also fans of Tyler this would be amusing. It is eye catching being wrote in a bold sans serif font in black on a white background and is also one of the first things the eye is drawn to after reading ‘TYLER THE CREATOR

There are coverlines at the bottom of the page that are shown in red and white to separate them from one another, this also catches your eye more because the colours go well together and they are easy to notice catching your eye quickly, they have used big names like ‘KAYNE WEST, ARCADE FIRE and ADELE’ which would catch the eyes of fans to these particular artists, even though this writing is eye catching it is not as big as ‘TYLER THE CREATOR’ who is the main feature of the magazine

The headline ‘TYLER THE CREATOR’ is wrote in a large sans serif font in bright red which very noticeable over the blue and white background which is mostly made up of the clothing Tyler is wearing, underneath this writing is his group ‘ODD FUTURE’ and also a strapline saying ‘ANARCHY HITS THE UK!’ this would be important new for Tyler’s fans and is written in bold black over a back ground that consists of mostly white ’

There are more coverline on the right of the page of big band names like the ‘SEX PISTOLS, ROLLING STONES’ and ‘THE DOORS’ which would draw the attention of the fans of these bands, these are also a different genre of music to the artists at the bottom which could be why they are separated attracting a completely different range of people, like the rest of the magazine cover they are in line with the colour scheme being wrote in a bold sans serif font in red and black on a white background making them stand out, there is also a strapline underneath the bands, it is a smaller font and the letters are more compact this is not as eye catching because it will be something the reader reads after bands

The image is in the centre of the page and is of the magazines main artist Tyler the Creator, he is wearing a crown on his head and is holding a bouquet of flowers, this links with the pull quote on the page, his a surprised and relaxed look on his face that suggest he doesn’t really care what people would think of his comment, this reflects his personality and would be familiar to fans, the images is masked over the mast head slightly which makes it stand out against the back it is the first thing readers look at when viewing the cover as the headline is written over the front of the image in a large bold font
