"Heat" magazine cover with annotations

The magazine heat has a front cover that has many different stories on and colours. They use a picture that is mostly the background which may be what i do but i think i will use more of an "Empire" type approach with a big bold masthead and a professional looking front cover instead of a lot of different stories. The use of the star theory is featured in this heat magazine as the big picture of Kim Kardashian, an obvious A list star will attract people to buy the magazine. Also, the bold yellow writing about her love life is another way that the people that make Heat have used text and images to attract consumers, as this will draw their attention and possibly cause them to buy the magazine. Again, I will probably not use this technique in my Music Magazine despite it being a good one, because I feel that it doesn't really portray a very professional feel.

Task briefing
