Cover Lines & Main Sells

On the cover the main selling point is the artist that is the cover artist, which is Lady Gaga on this magazine. The size of her name being in a large font size shows that this is something they want the audience to notice. By using a black and white image meant that the magazine title stands out more because of the use of the bold colours used. The way that the text is placed on the image means that you can still see clearly who it is in the image. This was done purposely as the main selling point for this magazine is always who is put on the cover each week.

Comparisons

The appearance differs a lot on this magazine compared to the other. This can be seen by the layout of the text mainly. On this magazine cover you can tell the selling point in the contents inside rather than who is on the front cover. This can be seen with all the various sections of text on the cover. The whole feel is a lot different as it looks like it is aimed more at males rather than females.
