Above the masthead there is a skyline saying what else is in the magazine. There is also a 'splash' saying about a free poster inside which draws the reader in because they are getting more for their money.
The masthead is plain and simple, yet is so effective because it grabs your attention straight away. The big black text is a great contrast with the grey background and really stands out.
Even though the image is covering part of the masthead, it doesn't matter because straight away you know which magazine it is, because it is popular and is also recognisable because of the colour scheme and style.
Going back to the image; I think this is a great main image because Taylor looks great which draws you in. Not only does it fit in with the theme of the magazine, but it also shows Taylor's own style. As she brands her style as looking like 'a high class hooker' -what she is wearing on the photograph could be considered as that sort of look.
The positioning of the image works well with the positioning of the text around it and is a great contrast to the red graphics and text.
On the contents the colour scheme is carried on, as well as the image of Taylor (again she is representing her style but in a different outfit.) The text/style is the same throughout the magazine which makes it look very professional.
The sub-headings allowing people to see what's inside also grab people’s attention because they sound interesting and it makes the audience want to read it.
This magazine is distributed so that the audience can gain more information about what's going on in the music industry, and what's new, eg: artists/music style/gigs etc...
The purpose is to expand peoples knowledge and so they are able to know more. The institute does this so the audience can feel involved and are shown that they are important in making the world of music go round!
The message this magazine is trying to send out is that people can have their own style and they too can make it in the music industry themselves if they want to. -they do this by interviewing artists to see how they have got famous and its an insight on 'how to make it' (most magazines do this.)
It makes the magazines look good and create a good impression also.
The target audience are that same for all the existing magazines.
I think that because of the images/colour scheme/house style it does attract the target audience however, also looks quite sophisticated, so could also attract some people from outside of the target audience.

The institution is REVOLVER magazine.
The magazine is supposed to 'scoop' info of whats going on in the music world amogst other things, which is shown by their headlines. They try to sound more informed than other magazines and as if they have more to offer so people are more likely to by their mag rather than any others.
This magazine is representing different artista and in this particular issue, who are the 'hottest' artists at the moment and The Pretty Reckless.
By showing Taylor Momsen on the front (lead singer of The Pretty Reckless) it shows that it is going to tell you about them and represent them in the magazine.
