Analysis of existing magazine cover 'Blender'

Analysis of ‘Blender’ magazine (Fergie-pop)

The genre of the magazine is pop and R n B because this issue covers all types of genres especially pop music. The target audience of this magazine is men and women who like pop and R n B music, the cover image of this magazine appeals to both men and women. The target audience of this magazine is people aged eighteen to thirty and both men and women will read this magazine. I can tell that the magazine appeals to both men and women and it is for people aged eighteen to thirty because of the cover image because it appeals both to men and women.

The main image of this magazine is of a singer Fergie and it relates to the music genre of the magazine because she is a pop singer and is in a band that is pop/R n B. The image is at the centre of the magazine, there are no specific angles used and there is no depth used as well. The color scheme links in with what the model is wearing, for example the model is wearing white, black and blue and the colors on the magazines that are used are also blue, black, white and the color gold compliments all the colors used as well. For my magazine I will want to use these colors as well because they go well with each other and they also compliment each other as well. The image relates to the target audience because women will want to be like her and the success that she is having and men will want to be with her and listen to her music.

The magazine is called ‘Blender’ and this reflects the content and target audience of the magazine because it is about music and in the magazine it tells you about the worst and best lists of music In the country so the name of the magazine ‘Blender’ reflects the content and information in the magazine because it combines the best and worst music and tells its audience about it and the magazine also covers a wide range of genres as well which can reflect the name of the magazine. There are only two types of fonts on the cover of the magazine which keeps it simple and there are also three types of colors as well which keeps it simple and not too over the top. There are various sizes on the cover of the magazine for example the less important information is in small and the important information is big. The main image covers most of the magazine because when people see the magazine they will concentrate on the image more then the information.
