Analysing Magazine front cover

I

I decided to annotate this magazine cover, as Vibe is a music magazine from the same genre of music that i want to make my Magazine about. 

The masthead is written in big bold white font this is done to make it stand out from the rest of the text on the page. The page is dominated by a very famous singer, Chris Brown, this helps the audience to understand what kind of music this magazine will be about as Chris Brown is famous for singing R&B songs. It also helps to attract people towards this magazine specially female audiences, as they could find Chris Brown attractive.This picture covers up part of the masthead which helps it to stand out, as it looks like the most important thing on the page, however its not covered the masthead up to much, so we are still able to read it and recognize which magazine it is.  They have made good use of colors on this magazine cover as they've used colours which stand out on the background they've used. They have also used a theme of colours green and White throughout the writing on this cover as it's like they've gave the words turns to be green and then white then green again. However to make the important text on the cover stand out from the rest of the text they have used other colours which don't combine with this theme, this helps them to emphasise the point that these texts are ment  important to the audience. It also uses direct addresss "i'm still a virgin.. in your eyes", it uses the word "your" therefor it's using direct address which helps to engage the audience. They've also made use of questions in the front cover to engage the audience "is that Chris Brown?" this engages the readers as they'll want to know the answer for which they'll have to read the rest of the magazine, so it will help sell the magazine to people. Also the bit of the question where it says "Chris Brown" is done in big bold capital letters, this is to make it stand out as Chris Brown is famous and people will have a lot of interest in him, by reading his name they will think the magazine has a lot of information on him and so will go onto read the rest of the magazine it hooks people to it.
