Magazine cover research 5

This an Acoustic magazine front-cover about Ed Sheeran.

Masthead-
i feel the masthead is the most outstanding feature of the magazine cover. I feel this because the colour they have chosen for the masthead is a bright warm colour which contrasts which the dark background. 

Banners-
The banners on the magazine don't stand out very well, because of the colours they have chosen and that they are in a small font which is hard to read. 

Headline-
The headline chosen for this magazine is very eye catching and aesthetically pleasing. The headline is made over three different lines which makes it funky and modern. The font they have chosen to write 'Ed Sheeran' in is a bright colour which  stands out against the photograph of the artist. 



The magazine uses a lure  as they want to draw people in to buy the magazine. In this magazine the lure is the opportunity to win  Ed Sheeran's signature. This will attract the attention of people who are fans of Ed Sheeran to buy the magazine.

Central image-
The image of Ed Sheeran shows him looking directly into the camera. This makes the cover more personal and it looks as though the artist is directly looking at the buyer. The image is very typical of Ed Sheeran's style as he is holding a guitar which is his genre. 

Cover stories-
The cover stories on the cover of this magazine are clearly visible but not the most eye catching feature on the cover. The cover stories do make the magazine cover more interesting as they are giving leads into the rest of the magazine. 

One feature i like about this magazine is that the same colour scheme is used through all the cover. The three colours that have been chosen all work well together and they are the colours that this artist (Ed Sheeran) uses on his album covers.
