Smash Hits Style Model.

This front cover has a blue and pink color sceme which they follow through with on a quotation from the main article. Avril Lavigne covers three quarters of the front cover which shows that shes going to be the focus for the main interview. Underneath the picture is a coverline saying 'Avril Lavigne on bad lads, glamming up and celeb crushes', the coverline gives a bit more detail on what the interview questions will cover.

Down the right hand side of this front cover are 3 secondary images displaying what else you can expect to find in the magazine. If someones not interested in the main article, these secondary images can encourage them to buy the magazine.

The color sceme on this front colour is very girly, which would imply that the main audience are girls. This is also carried out with the flirty writing, everything about this front would appeal to mainly girls.

This magazine inspires me as I like the way this front cover is set out. I think having the the main image to one side helps to seperate the main article from other articles within the magazine. The focus is on the main image first, then the focus moves to the side and then onto each individual element on the front cover. The colours work really well together, and the sceme continues throughout the magazine, I will use a colour sceme on my music magazine. I will recreate the layout of this magazine by having my image to one side, and I will also recreate the idea of having a colour sceme, except I wont use pink and blue. I will possibly use pink and green.
