Masthead: the mast head is
bright and bold attracting
peoples attention. It takes up
a large part of the cover. The
way the colour red is used
contrasts against the grey
background and black
header, this attracts more
attention.

4. Banner: this banner shows the
Gorillas in their typical bold
font, this will catch peoples
attention. Also the way they
have highlighted ‘album of the
year already’ in the bright red
colour makes it seem like it is
something people should pay
attention to and this may make
people that are not fans of the
Gorillas listen to then because
they have managed to have the
album of the year already.

5. ‘World exclusive- move over
Madonna’: this is showing
the viewers that they believe
lady gaga is better that
Madonna. This ‘world
exclusive’ makes people want
to buy the magazine because
it is pretty much saying that
there is nowhere else in the
world that you can buy it.
This may also attract the
Madonna fans base due to
the way that the magazine
may be showing that gaga is
the new Madonna.
