Front cover analysis 'Top Of The Pops'

This is the front cover of the magazine 'Top of the Pops'

In this issue the main story (the kicker) is 'I can really shock my parents- but will Justin's confessions shock you?' Justin Bieber who is a well know singer, is going to tell us how he can shock his parents. This will be the the DSP (double page spread)

The Masthead is written is San-serif font

Another thing is that there are 15 pictures on the front cover alone. This it the same with a lot of the Pop magazines for example a 'we love pop' magazine I have seen has 11 pictures on the front.

At the top and the bottom of the cover there are banners. The one at the top has a red background  saying 'quiz are you to truthful' is in black white writing.

The box at the bottom is orange and white which is full of the posters that you will get in the magazine, this is a major selling point as you wont only just be getting the magazine you will also be getting the poster too.
