For this magazine Q stuck with there two well known house colours of red and white throughout the front cover even though Adele was a big deal to have on there front cover and to write a double page spread about . The photo is a close up of Adele's face with her perfect highlighted skin and light makeup on. The magazine has done this to show her flawless skin but also to show her innocents. The close up helps draw the reader in and Adele is looking at her audience which will also help to draw the reader in because it makes the magazine look more inviting. This is were the rich purple comes in as a contrast to show the more wild side of Adele. The white background helps to keep the readers focus on Adele and makes her stand out and be more bold. The magazine have made sure that Adele's name is in big and bold writing so the reader knows who the artical is going to be about and the magazine has put it into bold white writing to contrast with Adele's rich purple clothing. The front cover has no smaller images on it to keep the focus on the artist.
 For my project i will be linking a lot of these bullet points when doing my front cover for my magazine. I'm going to use the natural wind swept look to show the natural side of my artist but will also try and use a contrast to make my artist stand out from the background. I'm going to have my artists name in bold writing to make it stand out to the reader which will draw my target audience in and make them more interested. For the photo my artist will be looking into the readers eye to draw them in and to also make it more personal because each of the reader will get something different from the photo. I will also stick with only a couple of colours.
