Front Cover Analysis
This is a magazine front cover for DJ Mag.
Their Title is bright red and their website which is placed within this logo is also a bright yellow. Using the yellow inside of the logo is effective as these colours go together with each other and the yellow is effective as it attracts you to observe it. The Heading also is also a logo as their is a disk upon the J of DJ. This is effective as the disk is then associated with the magazine. The image in this magazine are men using Direct Address. they have used these DJ's to be on the front cover as they are very popular in the genre I have used. The body language on the man on the left-hand side show that he is the onewho is more dominant as he is the one who has taken most of the magazines cover. Also tilting his glasses shows his confidence. The man on the righ-hand side who is less dominant is shows his confiddence with his facial expression. The colour of this issue is red, blue, yellow and white. The colours used are very bright and best represent the futuristic, innovative and colourful genre of DJ. The colours are targeted to both sexes and a target audience of 15-24 as these are their customers whom enjoy partying and listening to their type of music.
 Using the strapline and extra information about what is being featured within the magazine is a typical  convention.
Evaluation
This magazine has used all of the convention a music magazines would use. the use of the two different stars, one more dominat than the other, attracts people to buy this magazine. The colours the stars are wearing are also present in the colour theme which attracts the customer to buy the magazine. The colour palet chosen for this issue are suitable as they represent what the genre is about. the use of having the strapline and extra information in the same colours attract new or existing customers, this is effective as when buying this magazine they will be facinated with the clours and at the size of the image.
