Analysis of Magazine Covers

I have to analyse four magazine covers in order to get ideas of how to create my own music magazine front cover. I have looked at the front covers of two magazines; Rolling Stones and Top of the Pops. The Rolling Stones magazine is for a rock music genre and contrasts with my grime genre. Similarily Top of the Pops is a pop magazine which features different genres of music. I have chosen to analyse music magazines of different genres in order to explore a variety of music magazine genres. This will help me identify key differences in personal tastes. I am also going to analyse two front covers of my chosen music genre; grime, so I can identify aspects of current grime magazines like RWD, that attract my target audience.
