Textual analysis 3

The main feature on this magazine front cover is the free mix CD from "Boys Noize". The font used jumps out of the page as it is the most bold out of all the fonts used. By drawing attention to this exclusive feature the niche audience would definitely be tempted by this. The colours used are extremely bright, making the offer very hard to miss. 

The general colours used across the page are bright, exciting colours. This could reflect the content as it says "Ibiza" in a large eye-catching font and Ibiza is renowned for being lively. It suggests that this magazine is also about the lifestyle that comes with this kind of music and the interests of the people that listen to it. The fact it says "Drink cheap! Dance for free!" next to it would appeal to the audience as it is helping them out and hints that there may be offers inside.

Using a picture like the one on the front of this magazine suggest it is exciting. The girl looks like shes having fun in the sun and could reflect the content. More people would want to buy it then if there was a sad person on the front. There are many printed feature in colours that stand out from the background. By letting the reader get a peak into the magazine and it's content, they are more likely to buy it.
