L.I.I.A.R

Language

The language is what the Music Magazine has to contain in order for it to be successful:

The first is the Masthead. The masthead tends to always be situated to the top of the magazine, which isd a dominant Icon in order for it to be noticed. The masthead is the biggest piece of text on the page, however it only tends to be one word in order for it to stick in the audience head. This also attracts the reader to buy the product as it stands out to them.
The main image, is the biggest image that is presented on the page. For a music magazine such  (full page) must be an MCU (face and shoulders only) and the subjects face must be able to be clearly seen, and make eye contact with the audience.
-Bright colour scheme with clear house-style of two or three main colours.These are used to relate to the different artists or to attract the reader into buying the product.
- Thumbnail images that illustrate other articles
- Anchorage is the main text that explains the image,  this is a lure which attract the reader to read about the person who is featuring in the image.
- Price & barcode tend to be situated to the bottom right hand side of the page, these are essential as they are needed for a person to purchase a magazine.
- Teasing contents along the bottom
- Competitions and free gifts
- Main article / feature advertised must relate to the the main image.
