The mast head is in black,

block capital letters. This

stands out well and is
effective to reach its target
audience. It is a unique design
and this would be popular with
its indie/alternate audience.
The background is white due
to the border that goes around
the main image. This allows
the black lettering to stand
out more.
The cover lines used on this
page are quite basic and short
compared to other magazines.
They have been listed on the
left hand side of the page
which allows readers to locate
all the information easily. They
are the same font and colour
as the main cover line,
however they are a lot smaller
in size- demonstrating that
they are less important.
The colour palette used
includes quite dull and dark
colours. Grey, black and white
are the main colours used
which all complement each
other. Even though the colours
are dark, they still make the
overall cover stand out as it
looks sophisticated.

The main cover line reads

Charlotte Gainsbourg and is
followed with A life in art
which demonstrates to the
audience what is going to be
discussed inside the
magazine. The main cover line
is the biggest font size after
the mass head. This shows its
importance and allows it to
stand out. The font used to
quite different to the mass
head however it is still easy to
read. The black colouring
contrasts well with the
white/grey background
allowing the readers to read it
easily.
The main image used is a
mid-shot of the singer
Charlotte Gainsbourg which
allows the audience to know
who is going to feature in the
magazine. The image allows
her indie personality to show
due to her clothing and
surrounding. The image is
quite minimal which is why it
is so effective. There isnt a lot
going on in the image, this
allows it to stand out more as
it is so simple.

There are many layers to this

front cover which have been
carefully planned to create the
final piece. The mass head is on a
different layer to the rest of the
aspects of the cover. This allows
it to stand out well. The covers
lines have been placed on a
higher level than the main image
so that it can be read easily.
