Textual analysis

Denotation: This magzine consists of a fully coloured photograph of a female singer, the image is covering most of the front cover.The woman is in a upright postiton but her arms are bent to her head and she is also making a very different facial expression, she is also making direct eye contact with the camera, the image is a medium camera shot were only her upper body is shown. The main focus on the front cover is the large photograph which tells us that magazine is going to be about her.At the top centre of the font cover is the 'Spin' masterhead and along the left and underneath is the main cover line and right hand side are all the coverlines to give a insight on what the magazine is going to be about. I think the main colour theme to the front cover is white and black which its done so that the covelines are still visable even though the picture was made to stand out and ment to be the main focus on the picture. The background is plain white this was delibratly done.


Masthead: The master head in this front cover of 'SPIN' is very plain and simple but its very iconic and eyecatching as the colour of the lettering is white and the block around it is red which makes it stand out even more and making it also blend well together. The main title itself 'Spin' generally means twisted, going around and around which could be metaphor for either the music being a different gene and that this magazine is about different types and musical geners in which its giving the insight of what they should expect in the magazine. Although the font of the magazine is very normal the name itself gives a twist to the whole magazine.

Character: The woman shown in this magazine is a female rapper M.I.A
Compostition: The way shes posed can be self explainary really because theres a medium shoot
