Analysis of 2 Front Covers (Classical Music)

Classical music magazine also has only one picture on the cover, which fits the entire cover. This picture is of a middle aged, middle class/upper class man sitting on a bench not facing the camera. This gives a peaceful theme, and simple. The man in the picture ‘Pierre-Laurent Aimard’ wearing a suit immediately show wealth and professionalism. This magazine also uses red, but only a little, the main colour scheme of this cover is blue, white and red. This magazine doesn’t use as much colour as NME and it wants to come across peaceful and tranquil, not lots of energy. Only four features are shown on the cover, with light blue tittles with a small taster in white font. This continues the theme of the magazine. Despite not looking at the camera, a connection is made between the customers and the man in the picture. This picture intrigues the customer, and wants to know what he is looking at. The park bench, and the brick wall symbolises the outdoor world, and again, create peace and tranquillity. The tittle ‘classical music’ is a swirly font to represent the notes played by each instrument.
