Deconstruction of a Magazine frontcover

 

Feature.	Deconstruction.
Font	The font would appeal to the targeted audience because it is large bold and attracts the attention of a person in the shop.
Text	the text is kept to a minimum, to keep the audience interested and to tell the main features of the of the sell line, without spoiling the story inside, making the audience wait to read on and intentionally purchase the product (magazine).
Colour	The colours attempt to show the situation as a golden story, using gold around “special hero’s Edition” and then duller colours to the bottom and with light colours spreading across the rest of the page to attract the attention of the reader on the shelf.
Body language/staging	The images the show a cool, relaxed body language (from the poses) to show how the magazine may have a serious point to move across, but does it with a cool but comical manner.
Framing	The magazine has been framed so that the main image in the centre of the page stands behind the sell lines, making the reader look at the main sell points of the magazing first then movs towards the main image and mast hed, as a way of persuading the customer, using the content not the name/brand of the product.
Lighting	the lighting of the magazine has been done to remove all shadows, arounf the main image, apart from the few that create extra features on the models/celebrities, making them look perfect, without blemish or ny human errors.
Composition (overall design/layout)	the overall layout of the front cover is average, mast head at the top, main image covering the page, then to make it stand out having the contrsting coloured sell lines with images in a strip covering the left side of the page.
