Analysis of music of a music magazine- Pop magazine

POP! magazine front cover
Fonts and colours
The mast head is big so it stands out, it’s written in a ‘Barbie’ pink and then it’s got a  white outline on a blue background having the outline around the heading makes it stand out a little more. The masthead is in the centre which is usually at the top. Its got a camera flash type of light in between the O and the last P. It also has a explanation mark with a heart at the bottom which suggests its for young girls.This magazine uses a variety of different fonts and the whole magazine appears to be for a younger age with ‘fun’ type writing and  seems to be more on the feminine side, but is still clear to read. The main colour scheme is blue; pink and yellow.
Target audience
Pop’s target audience is mainly aimed young girls , the genre is more with pop music featuring ‘hottie’  boy bands.

Pictures

There are three main pictures on the front of the magazine he biggest, Justin Bieber is the main picture even though he is on the right, the picture is a mid-shot. The second picture more inward the background is of popular boy band JLS, having boy bands on the front cover suggest the magazine is for girls as their both ‘hotties’ the third picture is of Cheryl Cole which is on the lower left.   Pop’s magazine front cover is divided into 3 main sections vertically and horizontally using the principle of thirds. The top half focuses on the title and the main picture of Justin Bieber. The second section the middle half is of the picture JLS, the third section the bottom half focuses on the third picture Cheryl Cole and the smaller cover lines.
