The clash magazine-Front cover

Front cover

  The language of the front shows the attitude of Iggy pop off. Iggy pop is known for not having his top on so its almost as if he's carried on his tradition to show of to the readers and that his youth still exists. Also the way he has put his fingers above his head almost looks like devil horns so it shows that he still a rebel and has a devilish side in him. The fact that Iggy Pop also doesn't have an attractive figure and he's still posing with no top on shows he doest care what he looks like and what other people think, its quite vain and big headed. Iggy pop's eyes stand out and are central of the page. This makes readers engaged with the magazine and with Iggy Pop. The blue in his eyes stand out due to the heavy makeup and make the audience feel a connection with Iggy Pop. The dark eye makeup once again reflects the lifestyle he leads, it makes him look like he has been partying all night and living the rock and roll lifestyle although he's very old.
   The font of the front cover is very bold and outstanding so the audiences can easily read the front cover also it uses three colours, pink, acid green and white. This makes the front cover very sophisticated as they aren't using loads of colours also its very suitable for both genders as it uses pink and green. The logo is very cleaver, its on the left hand side so its the first thing you read also because its at the top when its stored in shops you'll be able to see the brand of the magazine straight away. The logo is cleaver and individual because the A is reversed to it blends into the S it looks like one letter when its not, it gives the magazine a quirky edge. The font for the storyline headers are smaller and less significant this so you read the more important part first. The main story is more bold and more colourful so it stands out, so readers are aware that this storyline is more important.
   The layout of the magazine is very logical, at the top left hand side so its the first thing your recognise and read, this is so readers will in future times remember where it is placed and reconsign the label of the magazine straight away, they become familiar with it. The picture is centre of the page so it stands out and gives the magazine its edge and entertainment. The story line headers and on the left and right hand sides of the page so it doesn't take over the picture and its clear top read. They also place them on the front so people want to read the magazine and find out more. The main storyline which will attract readers is at the bottom of the page in a large font, this is because it relates with the main picture and makes then readers aware that that will be the big story, its the last thing you read on the page so you remember it when you buy the magazine.
