Research and Planning- Magazine cover analysis 2

Again this magazine is a country and western magazine , the name of the magazine makes this clear.The layout for this magazine is quite simple it has the masthead Country, a cover line music people .It has a few names on the front giving the reader an idea of what is featured inside , issue date and number and a bar-code .Clearly on the cover of this magazine follows a two-colour colour scheme .I like how the photo uses the same colours so it all mixes together nicely.The camera shot used for this image is medium shot and i think this has been used to allow the audience to focus on her face but allow them to see she is wearing jeans( very popular in this genre).I think the target audience for this magazine could be male or female because blue is a unisex colour and if the model on the front is a well knows singer then it would appeal to both sexes.I think this magazine would appeal slightly more to women however because i think they would relate to the model on the front.I think this cover as a whole represents country as being quite relaxed and casual but at the same time they have used a beautiful model to portray some glamour.I think the use of only two colours does make this magazine look quite basic and i don't think it would personally stand out on a shelf for me, however one part of the cover i do like is the while outline used around the masthead text i think this looks nice nadjust makes it stand out a little bit for everything else on the page.
