Annotated Magazine Cover

Annotated Entertainment Magazine Cover

This is an annotated Entertainment Magazine Cover, I did this in order to analyse all the different features that were going on including puffs,lures,images tag lines and subheadings. This was a simple task as I had to pick out all the different techniques being used. At this point I had learnt more about what makes a good magazine and what is it that makes the cover look attractive.

I picked out the main things that stood out to me as a cover. Such as the language used as well as who was starring on the front of the cover.

For example the image that is used, instantly would catch someones eye as it is bold and a large image that takes up a lot of space, adding to this you can also see that the masthead is covered slightly, this happens often if the magazine is popular, the idea behind this is because it is famous and well known therefore would be automatically recognised as a  'Heat' magazine.
