'Beatles' is the first thing I notices when looking at this magazine, so i know this would attract the audience's attention first too. I think having the big font on the front cover is a brilliant way of catching the target audiences attention.
The colour scheme used is yellow and red, I wouldn't use this colour scheme myself as I don't think it is very appealing but it does work well with this particular front colour, the red text and banner follows the house style of 'Q' magazine as their masthead on every single magazine they produce is red. Red and yellow go together well and by using yellow it makes the writing bright and bold.
The front cover has 2 cover stories and 2 plus's showing that these stories are irrelevant to The Beatles. I like this idea and it is something I would definitely consider using.
This front cover is celebrating The Beatles 50th anniversary therefore it has made The Beatles the main aspect of the page which shows their importance to the music industry.
The main picture on the front cover is a image of The Beatles, 3 of the models are looking into the camera and 1 of the models isn't, I think the image would look so much better if all of the band was looking directly into the camera as though they are looking into the eyes of their target audience and addressing them directly. The model in the middle has his arms folded this gives connotations of power and importance.
This magazine front cover has helped with my creative decisions by giving me the idea to link my colour scheme with my masthead when i create my music magazine, and to also use a black and white image to show the vintage side to the magazine.
