M8 front cover analysis


M8 features only one image on the cover which takes up 100% of the page. The artist on the front wears headphones which suggest a DJ genre of magazine, this isnt as obvious as the other magazines that have been analysed. The articles featured within the magazine also suggest the target audience to be 17-25 year olds that enjoy clubbing. The colour scheme used on the cover is very basic, using white to highlight many important features of the magazine. The font is basic and easy to read, which the case in most magazines is. There is a good use of bold colours to make other article headlines to stand out. The only thing featured at the very top of the cover is the title M8; written in a very modern way. The main article and image both link together whch means that the reader can immediatley see what the main article within the magazine is based around. The price is situated next to the title, this may be because it is a cheap price compared to other magazines and they want to enhance this fact. At the bottom of the page three lines are devoted into giving information about other bands and features that will be published in the magazine. By placing the majority of the text to the left hand side and in an easy to follow list the reader can easily see what is included in the magazine.
