Front Cover Analysis #4

The colour scheme for this 'Blender' (blue, black and white) is different to the last one I analysed, however the black and white is kept the same throughout all of their magazines so that it is instantly recognisable. Unlike the other 'Blender' on my blog, Taylor Swift's black and white clothes match the colour scheme. The font is slightly different aswell, but still kept sans serif and simple. The font is kept the same throughout the whole cover but the title is cracked giving it an edgy feel. The artist's name is again in large font and numbers are used aswell. The language is very informal, obviously aiming for a young audience by mimicking the way they talk eg. "stoopidest music-biz blunders". It also says "teen special" which makes teenagers feel like this magazine is especially for them.

Although the rule of thirds does not seem to be applied to this front cover as much at first glance, it is still used on this cover. The figure is split up in to three sections: her head and one arm take up the top section, her upper body and other arm fit in to the middle section and her lower body fits in to the rest. The writing is kept to the outer sections and even that is split into sections. The rule of thirds makes it appealing to the eye.
