Textual Analysis of Three Magazine Front Covers
I am going to look at three magazine front covers, the third one is,
Hello! Magazine.
At the top right hand corner of the magazine is the title of the magazine which is 'Hello!'. The word 'Hello!' is a bold whit font and is also on a block of red colour, once again to make the word stand out more. Underneath this is the date the magazine was published and the price of the magazine.
The front cover of the magazine is taken up by the main photo which is of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and their new baby twins. Both Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are looking at the twins.
At the top of the front cover on the left handside and in small bold black font is the words 'The biggest Exclusive of the year'. The sentence is underlined to emphaise these words.
At the bottom of the cover is the main headline which is in bold black font. The first section of the headline reads 'Faboulous first pictures of all the family as'. This sentence is in a smaller bold black font. The second section of the headline reads 'Brad and Angelina introduce twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline'. This sentence is in a bigger bold black font.
Next to the main headline is the barcode.
People will be attracted to this magazine cover as the main photo is the actual front cover. There isn't much writing just the main headline.
The target audience for this magazine will be teenage boys and girls and also any fans of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
