Music Magazine cover notes

Music magazine covers

The image


  • If there is a person/group on the cover, what do they represent? 
  • Are they a stereotype?
  • How has this stereotype been constructed?
The gaze

  • The gaze refers to the direction in which the person on the cover is looking.
  • Are they looking straight to the audience?
  • Are they smiling?-enticing the reader in?
  • Do they look friendly or cool?
  • Do they look seductive?
No more than five models should be used.
Allowed to use real bands if you know them and they're reliable

The mission statement

Create a mission statement for your music magazine.
Read the example for the woman's music magazine 'Frank' and develop the following ideas for your own magazine.


  • Explain what kind of music magazine you hope to create by focusing on genre and style
  • Explain the audience that you are trying to target
  • Give a brief overview of the content of your magazine
  • Describe the tine and attitude of your magazine
  • Explain the role that you think your magazine will play in the lives of it's readers
