CoverThe masthead- The masthead is placed at the top

of the magazine. It has block colours inside of the white lettering to make it stand out which is very original and is a signature trademark which sets itself apart from every other magazine.

The artists name is in large lettering once again the emphasise that the main article will be about Rihanna. It is also in the middle center which attracts attention.

Coverlines- "My fans don’t really know who I am". This would make Rihanna fans want to buy the magazine to read the article to find out more about her.

Cover Main image- The main image is a midshot, the artist is

centered and directly looking at the camera. Direct eye contact draws in the reader and makes them want to buy it. The artist covers almost the whole page and the magazine as no other images on the front cover. Showing that the main article is about her.

Banners- Banners are used to make the text stand out against the image. Black and white is used because it is easy to read and attracts attention.

Cover lines- Cover lines are placed on the left hand side incase the magazine is displayed horizontally in a shelving system and also because we read from left to right. This is a good feature of the magazine front cover.

Part of the masthead is covered by the main image which shoes that the magazine is very audience intended because the reader is expected to know what the magazine it is, even though oart of the name is hidden.
