Music Magazine Cover Analysis

The image of popular celebrity is the main focus of the cover. Unlike most magazine front covers, there is only one image, positioned on the right side instead of the centre. It is the first thing that catches the readers eye. 

There is a small advertisement in the top left corner, which is boxed off from the rest of the page. Anyone who admires 'John Edwards' will see this advert, and take an interest in the magazine. 

The bold word 'new' gains attention because people want to know about the new subject. It makes the magazine seem original, because they are including new information which readers may not find anywhere else. 

'Punk Rock' will interest anyone who enjoys the punk rock music genre. 'Punk Rock Fight Club' is short and snappy, giving little information. This means the reader will want to read on to find out more. 

All of the text is positioned on the left side of the magazine. This makes it easy for people to read quickly. The layout is simple and easy to the eye. On one side the reader sees the image, and on the other, the text.

The red text stands out against the rest. This is because it accompanies the image. This text is the bigger and bolder than the rest, therefore we know that Zac Efron is going to be the main focus in the magazine.
