Front cover analysis Jass wise

The front cover of this magazine features the main page of a man holding two instruments. This man seems to be in a very challenging stance as his arms are crossed while looking down at the camera that was being shot and through perspective may be seen to be quite intimidating. The main image is also placed above mast head which could be interpreted as this man being more important than the initial magazine name. This man is mainly dressed in black but also has a green jacket on him. Black has connotations of power and authority which also reinforces the way that they have tried to convey the way he is looking at the readers.

Further on the subtexts that go along the sides of the front cover feature names of individuals in bold letters which stand out rather than the rest of the text. With each name it shows how important they are while also attracting the attention of people who walk past. The colour scheme for this magazine is shown to be black a dark shade of yellow or orange and a dark silverish background, seeing this looking at the colour connotations that are present it really reinforces the idea of the passion power and authority that this magazine is trying to convey to the readers. At the bottom left hand corner of the magazine there is a Plus section which features 3 more names that didn't really make it to the front cover which could essentially mean that they aren't as important as the other names that are present.

Also on the front cover there is a image of a red circle which features additional information inside it telling viewers what is actually on the inside of the magazine which is extremely good as it enables people to also get a bit more out of buying this magazine rather than buying any other random magazine because there are additional instalments inside of it. Most magazines do have a section where it says that on the inside find out about the story of so and so but with this magazine it is so much more noticeable than other magazines as it is displayed in line of sight and in bright red which is great for catching the eyes of the audiences.

The front cover sticks to the main conventions of a front cover of a magazine with the barcode being in the bottom right hand corner along with text above the mast head which is a common concept that magazines use but i never really understood why they would do that.

In conclusion i think the front cover of this magazine is actually quite detailed in the way it has been presented and also the way that the initial design of it has remained the same with other designs of front covers.
