The direct eye contact make the image look more powerful with her expression and allows it to stand out and be more memorable and remarkable.Masthead: is very bold and bright – stands out to the audience. It’s block and sans serif and is of a big size. It is shadowed by a white replica of the text to place more emphasis on it allowing it be much more eye catchingColours: I have stuck to a basic colour scheme of black and white to make the magazine look more professional and striking while these colours always seem to work well with this genre.I used these colours because the artist is also wearing black so the colours work really well together and in this case clashing the white on top of the black is very effectiveCoverline: simple and attracts the reader by it being about The Beatles who are legends in the industry and whom fans revereFooter: this attracts attention because it’s clear and bold and tells the reader of some of the various features within the magazine that interests them such as information about upcoming concerts and festivals.
