Total Guitar Front Cover Analysis


 

The masthead is large and centred in the top middle of the page, while obscured by members of Metallica you can still assume what it reads.

The Main Feature gives the reader a first glance look at what is in the magazine and will often persuade people on buying the magazine or not. The use of ONLY gives the reader a feeling that this is the only way they will see the interview in a guitar magazine

Under the masthead is a picture of a competition to win a guitar and an amp worth a grand, using slang terms such as a grand and amp gives you an idea they are trying to appeal to the teenagers who want a new guitar.

Dotted around the page are multiple small headings on the other magazine features giving you more of an insight on what we will be seeing in the magazine.

In the bottom right hand corner there is the barcode and a publisher’s stamp which gives us information on where we can contact them etc.

There is 4 colours on the front cover which is the absolute limit you should have but I think the use of these four colours is particularly effective and engaging.
