The Music Magazine i have bought and chosen to analyse is called "The Source". It is said to be "The Bible of Hip-Hop Music and Culture". It includes artists latest releases, interviews with celebrities, top rated songs and also other content such as fashion, reviews, sports etc.
The name of this magazine is called "The Source" which implies it will be giving saucy, secretive, new information about celebrities, which is what the audience want to know about. The writing is in bold big block letters which stand out and are easily seen on top of the cover. It is in red which may grab audience attention as it is a bright bold colour, but also the colour red relates to love, which could imply we may be getting deeper, more personal information about the celebrities.
The cover has a variety of well know, established, liked celebrities which would grab and attract the audience. The audience like these celebrities so if they see them on the front cover are more likely to buy the magazine. The celebrities all look very glamorous, fashionable and rich these are an inspiration and idols to teenagers, they look up to them therefore would be interested in what the magazines have to say bout them and would enjoy reading articles about them.
Overall, the cover for this magazine is very bold, colourful, eye catchy and it looks enjoyable and fun to read, therefore will have allot of readers buying the magazine. It seems to be aimed at teens and young adults who are into the Hip-Hop and R&B music genre.
