As part of the course, I have to research similar products to my own (Music Magazines).
When looking through the search results I came across a cover that featured Eminem. (Below)
This cover stood out to me as the photograph of Eminem covers the mast head. This shows the audience that: either The content of the magazine is so good that it is more important than the aesthetics of the magazine, or that the magazine is well known by many, and therefore the masthead is not needed to be on full show. To the reader, this may encourage us to pick up the magazine and eventually even buy it. Further more, Eminem is looking straight down the lens - almost as if he is looking at us. This paired with his hand over his heart makes the reader feel a connection with the reader
The magazine's typography and colour scheme are consistent - even with Eminem's clothing - which makes the magazine seem appealing to the reader.
