Homework Magazine Analysis


The magazine cover consists of a colour photograph of six people dressed in semi – formal attire. It is a long shot with all six people in comfortable but yet presentable positions highlighting their formality in relation with the business magazine. Behind them is a grassy background with trees, the roof of a house and a clear blue sky. The clear blue sky and shinning sunlight upon their faces creates a positive, friendly image. The photo takes up the whole magazine cover with the masthead and sub-headings in blue, once again emphasising a “jolly” spirit. Three of the men are also wearing blue and one of the ladies has a blue dress. One criticism I would have of the colour blue is that it is not the most contrasting of colours on top of green (especially the sub-headings) and part of the word “Business” is camouflaged with the background making it harder to attract the eyes of a potential customer.
