Analysis of front cover 3

For my third analysis of a magazine front cover i chose to do Q.
The colours that have been used are mostly black, red and white. Red is an ambiguous colour as it can mean sexy, loveor anger. Black can also be quite a sexy colour but also a bit gothic and by using white it is a complete contrast with the black and it help things to stand out.
The images and words all have a similar colour theme going on. This helps to tie it all together. The three lines of the main title have all been written in a different style, this will help to make the front cover eye catching.
With a close up of Cheryl Cole being the main image will attract the consumers because she is a well known celebrity, that a lot of people admire, due to her personality and beauty. However this picture is quite seductive people would want to know why she is on the front of this magazine looking like that.
This whole front cover with its colours, the way that Cheryl is licking her ring and her red lips comes across very sexy and seductive. With her skin being quite pale, this helps to show off her features.
The word 'ROCKS' is in large bright red writing and this will convey to the reader that this magazine has mainly a rock genre. Where it says 'THE UK'S BIGGEST MUSIC MAGAZINE' this portrays the magazine as well known and people will want to buy a magazine that is the best in the UK. This magazine front cover gets away with only having one image on the front cover because it is big bold it can still be seen on the shelf.
This magazine is very appealing due to the different style of Cheryl Cole and with such a big eye catching picture it makes you want to know what other pictures etc will be inside the magazine.
