Textual Analysis 2

This is an issue of Fabulous magazine, similar to the pre production I will create. 

• The masthead is clear and goes over the top of the main star. This clearly shows the magazine's name and gives it it's identity. 
• There are very few puffs/cover lines and most of which link in with the main star of the magazine. There are then some unrelated puffs that do not take any attention away from the main image, but still engage and inform the audience. 
• There is no barcode or price, because it is a free magazine, however there is, in very small print a brief description of what the magazine is and where it comes from, plus some adjectives to draw audiences in: 'Britain's Biggest Glossy'
• The main image is an extreme close up of the stars face, and he is looking away instead of making eye contact with the audience. The colour of the magazine makes him look a little sad and depressed and his expressions show this too. 
• The main cover line is a quote from the star, instead of a phrase to draw the audience in. This is a little bit different from typical cover lines, but it is effective nonetheless. It is a brief introduction of what is to come from the interview and creates another reason for the audience to choose this magazine.
• The layout is very organised and clear. There is no overcrowding and there is not too much to look it, making it look classy and simple.
