Nylon Cover

The cover of Nylon is relatively cluttered with several article headings spread across the page overlapping the background image. Only one image is used that coordinates with the main article. Through the route of the eye we see the masthead first the image and the main article and then finally several minor articles at the bottom of the page. Through the principal of thirds we can see that this magazine cover has been divided into three sections vertically, from left to right we first see the headline article, secondly the image telling us who this issue is focusing on and also what sort of music the audience of this magazine may listen to and then finally the several minor articles included. The hotspots are the areas at which the lines intersect, here we can see these have been used effectively to include key areas of information that we know the eye will be immediately drawn to. These areas include four separate articles so when the reader is scanning over the page they immediately know what is included and these headline titles create interest making the reader want to read on.
The colour scheme used is predominantly blue, purple and pink, thus connotating the idea that this magazine is mainly aimed at females. Although through scanning the colour is less intense bright vivid colours along with bold san serif fonts attract attention and create interest. The image used is a mid shot and as Lily Allen is wearing an editorial fashion piece this gives the reader the impression that as well as music this magazine also includes fashion.
