Front Cover Research

This magazine is filled with a lot of text and and one very prominent image in the middle. The font style is very bold and eye-catching. The image subverts the text because the style is not really feminine and more hard rock/male font. Although Cheryl shows a really bold attitude/body language and she really gives off an intense red and black colour which really works with the overall style of the magazine and the theme as well. In this magazine, the text and size of the font that has been used down the left and side can be difficult to read and may put off potential readers.
I feel that the image used really helps give readers a better understanding of what it is going to be about without reading it, The image gives off a really rock/hardcore vibe and that it would be more appealing to the younger generation because it is such a crazy and wild magazine.  The image however is very gender specific meaning that it is just one picture and one women who takes up a large part of the cover, this may however be beneficial because they may be able to achieve a male audience because there will be a greater sex appeal for them.
