Magazine Cover Analysis

Main Task:Planning

Analysis of Front Cover November 5

First, to understand what is expected of a front cover I made a spider diagram covering all the basic features present of a magazine front cover.

I annotated the front cover of KERRANG! magazine. I pointed out the main codes and conventions that are present on the magazine cover and many connotations of the underlined meanings.

I then annotated an existing NME music magazine cover to show some of the other conventions of a magazine cover.
