Resaerch for main task - Musical

The front cover of Musical nion has a cover image of a musician he is positioned with his hands in his pocket and looking directly at it target audience this makes it more personal to the consumers as eye contact creates connection between the two. Also he has his legs crossed which fits the type of personality he is demonstrating which is fairly straight to the point and professional. This feeling is also demonstrated through the type of clothes which he is wearing, which is a suit this makes him look very smart.
He has been placed in the for ground of the magazine showing that the magazine is very well known to its consumer therefore even without the title people can still recognise what magazine it is due to its unique characteristics.

The colours used also show that its pure, calming and natural this is represented through the white and cream used in the background and the masterhead. this reflects on the type of instruments used in classical music which include violins. There is also some blue and black which contrasts the background very well as a result making the straplines in these colours stand out which shows they are key.

The straplines are key in representing what type of magazine it is and is shown by what has been placed on the cover all the stories link to music and in particular classical music. An example of this is "Warren Mailley-Smith, The Pianist talks exclusively to us" here this artist links to this type of music in particular and by having a special interview with him shows that he is very important in that industry and popular.

Overall, the construction of this magazine is very different to other magazine such as the Hip Hop magazine as it is aimed at a different target audience therefore produces are having to alter certain characteristics of the magazine to meet their specific needs.
