Front Cover Analysis Notes

 


Most fashion magazines will contain an image, generally close-up, mid-shot or extreme close up and in the centre of the cover, of a well-known women or fashion icon. For example, on magazine front covers, such as ELLE and Vogue, there will be women like Cheryl Cole, Cara Delevingne, Nicki Minaj, Rita Ora, Kim Kardashian, Gigi Hadid and Kylie Jenner, this is because they are well-known women/models who represent fashion and often known for their fashion. There will also be the title in big, bold text at the top of the over then subheadings to the left and right and at the bottom of the cover. On most front covers there will be a barcode in the bottom right corner and were will also be a price somewhere on the page. Mot of the subheadings will mention something to do with fashion and there will often be the name of the model on the front page, somewhere on the cover.
