Citation preview

The mast head has been placed on the left hand side of the page. It has been rotated 90 degrees clockwise to show the face that is being made easily. It is in block letters with black colouring which contrasts well with the yellow background that it is on. This choice of colouring makes the name stand out more, allowing it to be read easily and for it to be remembered quickly.There would be less layers to this cover page compared to similar magazines because of the minimalist style to it. Due to the lack of cover lines there would be less layers used. However a new layer would have still been used for each aspect of the page. Therefore a number of layers would have still be used. Cover page annotations (3)The colour palette used is mainly made up of dark colours. The main image takes up the majority of the cover page, therefore the main colours used are quite dull. Navy, grey and black are most commonly used however the yellow for the mass head contrasts with this. This contrast makes the mass head stand out well, allowing the readers to easily identify the magazine. The cover lines used are very minimal however this makes the page more effective. The image is the main focus because there arent many cover lines covering it. There is a cover line that has been placed vertically at the edge of the page. The font size is very small, meaning that it isnt taking up much of the page. This demonstrates that it isnt as important because it is so small and uneasy to read. The main cover line used reads play loud which is unique to other cover lines on different magazines. This demonstrates to readers that the magazine has an alternative style. The cover line is located at the bottom left hand side of the page. It is in lower-case letters and has been italicized. The dark background allows the white colouring to stand out easily, making it easy to read. The main image used on this cover demonstrates to the reader which artist is going to feature in the magazine. Rhianna has been placed central and fills the whole page without being covered much at all. This shows her importance and level of fame. Her hair has been placed over her right eye. This is traditional for i-D cover images as it resembles the winking face in the name and mass head. This makes the magazine easy to identify.
