Front Cover Analysis 3.

The background with the red straight the way catches my eye and isn't usually used in music magazines as they are usually dark backgrounds but is very effective as it brings a more colourful look to the magazine. The yellow titles stand out on the red background and work well with the blue title of the magazine. However the little subheadings are in white and are in a small font so they don't stand out any more than the yellow titles. All three of these colour work well and make the magazine stand out the most out the three i have analysed. this itself will up the selling of this particular magazine as more people will pick it up. As you can tell i have chose magazines with strong female artists featuring on the front covers as they inspire me and Christine Aguilera is no different as her pose bring attention from everyone to the magazine, however it is done in a clean way not offending anyone. by placing the writting all around her it gives the feel that she is the main feature of the magazine giving her power in the photography on the front cover as we then see that she is important in the magazine itself. Even her head is over the title also showing that her photo is significant, also the font with her name is  not only yellow but the biggest on the front page attracting the viewers eye straight to that fact. RollingStone use a rethorical question on their front cover which attract the viewer and makes them feel more involved and more personal towards them, influencing them to pick up and buy the magazine. the text used don't really give too much away it just taunts people into wanting to read more for example, '.. and the rock star who loves them'. The bubbled writing stand out even more that when bold and looks more friendly rather than the usual rock font where its sharp and edging, this could then attract different types of audiences. In this pose Christina has no clothing on making her seem vunerable however she is still wearing her shoes and accessories, by using the guitar to cover herself up she is relating to the style of magazine with the rock theme. her whole body is to the side with only her face facing forward again looking straight at the camera therefore looking at the viewer, the eye contact makes the whole pose powerful. The connotation of the pose is sexual giving the music magazine a more adult view and you can see this through the photo.
