My First Blog!

Today in media studies, we looked at magazine covers. We analysed the different features of a magazine cover, using the 'McMahon and Quinn'. The magazine i got was 'Closer'. I analysed things such as the cropping of photographs, the masthead and the layout of the page. While analysing this magazine cover, i found that the magazine cover showed a lot of variety in the way that the writing on it was presented and the colours used. I found out that reason the three pictures were used was because it showed the peron's whole body, this related to the stories and the fact that it was a positive story and that the people featured in the story were happy and comfortable.
