Analysis of 3 magazine front covers

kerange magazine is published by Bauer media and has been published since 1981

the main colour scheme for this issue of the magazine is blue, yellow and black, this depicts a goth/ emo vibe to the magazine. the central image is at direct mode of address, but there isn't just one person the the cover , there is the rest of the band in a V formation, but the, what i assume is the lead singer is at the point of the V. the magazines layout is is very cluttered and in your face, but can make you think that there is allot in the magazine. there is also a wide range of fonts and font styles which are used the draw the reader in to the magazine so that they are encised to read it. also they have used buzz words such as WIN, PLUS and MASSIVE which are also used to entice readers in to thinking that there is and exclusive thing to just that magazine. 

MOJO was published by Bauer media in November 1993

the central image is of an artist that we automatically assume is going to be featured in a double page spread in the magazine. the women featured is not looking at the reader which adds a degree of mystery  to her and would make the reader want to find out more about her and her story. the fonts are not all the same, some are different, and have different sizes which makes it more visually appealing. Also the fact that all the writing is in capitals adds a sense that everything is important and must be read. also this magazine doesn't have a main title as the other mojo magazines do, because this is a classic mojo magazine which it says is a collectors issue. The masthead is small and almost unnoticeable. the colour scheme is red white and black with some yellow, the yellow and white brighten the magazine up stopping it from looking to dark. 

RollingStone magazine was published Jann Wenner and its first issue was published November 9th 1967 

quite typical for Rollingstone magazine they have a famous celebrity on the cover. the central image is big and fills the whole page, it also obstructs the title but magazines can do this because from the font of the title at the start the reader can automatically know what magazine it is, it creates a brand identity to do with its house style. the person features in the magazine looks to be at the beach playing football, this could give a sense if the magazine is laid back. also from the body language of the person features and the fact he has a wet t-shirt could make it seem like he's being shown as a sex symbol, which could appeal the girls who are a fan of them or of the movie.
