Deconstruction of Country Magazine


                                                               Music Genre: Country
This is a country magazine which is showing/explaining all about thespecific music genre. A Masthead and Main Image have beenused on this magazine, a basic format for most magazines, and other parts of information have been included within the magazine to show the viewer what they can find inside. By using a main image and placing it in the center of the page, it makes it stand out more and grab people's attention. The colours which have been used are appropriate as they fit the genre of music well. The magazine also has a competition part included where you can win a prize. This is a good technique to use as it makes the magazine interactive and more people will be likely to buy the magaznie as they could gain something more from it. Bold text has been added for subtitles then smaller writing has been used to show the information. This may of been done as if everything was written in bold, large text, it may be over powering and people may feel there is too much information on the front page so they don't view the magazine, but by placing smaller fonts for different parts, the magazine fits well together and the individual pieces of information are placed around the magazine to make it easy to read.

The magazine contains a feature called a bullet, this is where information is shown in a way which presents it as a bullet point. This is handy for when certain information is important, it helps to make sure the viewer doens't miss the information and can see what's happenign. In this case the bullet has been used to show the competition which is included in the magazine. This piece of information plays a part in helping the magazine to sell as more people will purhcase the magazine if it contains something they can be interactive with i.e a competition or crossword.
