Front Cover Analysis

In this presentation I will be analysing different music magazine front

covers

NMEOn this front cover, the name of the magazine is clear and obvious in the top left corner. It has the main story within the magazine in the middle in the biggest font. The smaller stories are in smaller fonts around the outside. There are many different fonts and sizes and images, creating a collage-feel to the cover. The photo relating to the main story is featured in the background underneath the text.

MOJOUnlike NME, the name of this magazine is much more prominent, being placed at the centre top with the biggest font. The stories are down the sides, leaving space in the centre for the image. This cover features a very stylistic colour scheme, with a monochrome black and white image with other details and text in fluorescent orange.

COMPUTER MUSICThis is clearly a more technical magazine, this is displayed by the business of the text, images and features. The magazine brand is, again, the main focus, in the biggest text. There are more smaller images detailing what is inside, this cover unlike the other two is less focused on style and more on information.
