The genre of this magazine is mixed as it says different types of artist on the main cover.

This image of Florence indicates that this issue genre is pop.

The colours are kept to a minimum as it is a contrast to the red hair. This helps it stand out from the other magazines. The text colour for this magazine, black and white, are neutral which suggests that it is not for any particular gender.

The masthead is on the top left. This makes the reader see it first as we start to read from the top left.

All text is on top of the image but it still doesn’t take our attention away from the image as a close up image is used and the bright red makes it stand out.

This is a strapline saying what the magazine name stands for.

The cover lines do not stand out as much on this cover as they are not bold and bright enough. Readers will not be able to see these from a distance.
