Vintage magazine analysis 9

Masthead-
On this magazine i feel the main outstanding feature is the masthead. I feel this is the  most eye catching as it is a different colour to the background.  The masthead is in an old fashion font and is serif. Also on this cover which is interesting is behind the masthead there is a bar of music. I like this feature as it adds to cover and makes it more interesting. Also it is a symbol as it is music notes and that is a symbol that is is a music magazine. 

The puff-
On the cover of this magazine a puff is used. This is a very effective feature as it is very eye catching. In this magazine the puff is used to show the price of the magazine. I like the use of puffs on magazine as i think they are interesting and appealing to the buyer. In my magazine i am going to use a puff to promote the magazine more. 


The photograph-
The image on this magazine is a medium close up and the model is not looking straight into the camera. Also the photograph is in black and white, this gives the magazine a true vintage feel which will appeal to vintage lovers. 

Banner-
Along the bottom of the magazine a banner is used. The use of a banner is to advertise other features of the magazine. The banner in this case is promoting some of the stories inside the magazine. This gives the reader a bigger insight into the magazine, and also could be used as a lure towards the buyer. 

Cover stories-
On this magazine there is only two cover stories. I feel this is so because a lot of the information for what is inside the magazine is shown in the banner of the magazine. 

Feature i might use-
On the magazine the features i find interesting and would consider using in my magazine is the use of music notes behind the masthead, i feel this symbol gives a clear indication to what the magazine is about. 

I feel as though this magazine links to Hartleys genre theory. Hartley says "Agents of ideological closure". He believes that producers just stuck to a genre then the audience would get bored. With vintage magazines i feel this is the case are nowadays there is a big niche market for vintage music magazines.

From this magazine i really like how it has a really vintage feel about it, i feel this is because the background is coloured and the image used is white.
