Front Cover Research 4- Total Guitar

Main Image:

Guitar represents the acoustic genre, the guitar is larger than the artist in the image which shows that it dominates their genre of music representing the genre of magazine. 

Ed Sheeran, suggests the main article is about him as he dominates the cover.

The main colours used are orange (matches artists hair), yellow, black, white and a bit of blue. 

This magazine represents the acoustic industry and guitar fans; there are several references to guitars on the cover which shows that the magazine mainly focuses on guitars over the actual artist. The guitar dominates the image over Ed Sheeran himself showing how significant guitars are to the magazine. 

For my magazine, I want to focus more on the artist rather than their instrument, although I do want to have a theme of acoustic and guitars I don't want this to dominate my music magazine.
