Magazine Front Cover Analysis 2

An edition of the magazine LifeBeyoundSport with Nico Rosberg, a 1-time world champion in the motorsport F1. The masthead is the name of the magazine, that will help customers recognise it and its located at the top of the front cover. The colour scheme has 4 colours in the front cover, this being white, black, grey and green. As usual for the magazine they used 3 fonts, one for the masthead, a second one for the main cover line and a third one for the smaller cover lines on the side of the front cover. The main image is a mid-shot of Nico Rosberg, as the image cuts at waist level. It is placed in the middle of the front cover and has no supporting images as he is the focus of this edition. The cover lines give an insight to the reader of other articles in the edition of the magazine. It references other known celebrities as the magazine has a focus for successful people, for example in this edition Paul Pogba, a famous football player, Sir James Dyson, the founder of Dyson Ltd, and other important people. Although the name of the magazine is LifeBeyoundSport, they do not just focus on sports names and that is noted with articles about inventors and products not just people. The main cover line is placed at the bottom of the front cover and uses bold fonts in a big size to attract readers with the name of the driver. The front cover follows the rule of thirds as there isn’t any text in front of the main image and the cover lines are placed to the right and left of the front cover. The primary audience of the magazine would be middle class to upper class men from the age of 40 upwards. They are people that live a luxurious life and are conservative. The secondary audience would be young people from the age of 15 years old that have an interest in the lifestyle of famous people and their work.
