Research and Planning - Music Magazine Analysis

This Top of the Pops Magazine is based on pop music, I can tell this because it has the word pop in the masthead. Also some of the images on the cover are of artists thats genre is pop.
 The audience for this magazine is the younger people most likely teenagers and probably girls, I know this because it has lots of celebrity gossip in it and stuff that yonger people are most likely to be interested in, also there's a lot of pink used on the cover which suggests it appeals more to girls.
 The masthead is big at the top of the magazine to make it stand out more to the audience and attract them to it. Its also in a bright pink but as there is a lot of pink in the page it stands out less than it could. The font for the masthead is pretty simple except the 'of the' in a circle which makes it a bit different to other fonts and also the 'S' at the end of pops has a swirly bit on it so its not all in a simple font. The coverlines are spread out all over the cover inbetween the images, they are in different colours and fonts and different sizes, this is probably to make it look different and less boring. Also the more important coverlines will get to stand out more which may encourage the audience to buy the magazine. The main shot type is a medium long shot as you can see part of their legs, Also there are two other medium long shots on the cover page at the bottom. It also includes two close up shots and a medium close up shot. The colours used are pink, blue, black, white and purple which means it isn't sticking to the three colour rule but it still looks really good.
 The magazine is represented really well it includes a barcode, the issue number and date and also how much it costs. It also includes the main things in the coverlines with some pictures to attract the audience.
