Deconstruction of a Front Cover

 

Here is front cover taken from ETC magazine, this magazine is only sold in the North East of England, therefore making it a regional magazine. I am deconstructing this magazine because I believe that it will be very helpful as my magazine will be regional.

 

First thing that I notice is the model- Cheryl Cole. Having her on the cover will help pull in the target audience and make people want to purchase a copy. Not only that but for the fact that she is from up North herself and I know that she has many fans up here which will also help attract an audience, as they will want to support her.

 

The colour scheme of the magazine works well with the model I think. The pink signifies youth and is playful. The background has tinges of pink and this matches the text. By highlighting 'Cheryl Cole' in a dark pink ensures that the words stand out to the audience and obviously people will instantly recognise the name.

Although I have mentioned above that the colour scheme works well with the model, I don't think that I would like to use these colours, I detest this shade of pink and I think that it makes the magazine look more un-professional rather than professional. So I will not be including a colour scheme like this on my magazine. I don't really think that there is anything that I would include from this magazine onto my own, as it really isn't my style.
