Analysis of existing magazines' COVERS 2

The main image is the singer usher and he takes up most of the page with a medium shot of his face and his upper body. He is striking a very confident and audacious pose that makes him seem like he’s ready for a fight.

The colours on the page are very contrasting as the magazine cover is very bland but this contrasts the very bright blue coat that attracts your eyes naturally to the image on the page before you read the masthead, this shows he’s the most important thing on the page more important than the masthead on the page which is also covered up nearly entirely by the main image on the page.

The text font is matching to the masthead and is in capitals apart from the masthead as the text becomes closer to the main image it gets smaller this is for two reasons, the text would not fit if the font was bigger and because it gives an effect that the text is "scared" of the image and it takes not eye contact away from the main image. The pose suggests he’s "ready" this links to the splash that tells us his name and that he’s a hit man. The bright colour in the masthead makes it instantly recognisable and attracts your eye instantly after you’ve seen the main image.
