Analysing a magazine

Today, we looked at the covers of a magazine. I looked at a cover of Heat and had to annotate the features used on the cover. I looked at the colours used, the sizes of the pictures/fonts and the varieties of them. We also had to think about why they would be used and why this is important to a magazine. I think that this was very beneficial because I know that every time I look at a magazine now, I will evaluate it more and give more thought into why certain colours, fonts and quotes are used.
