Textual analysis 3

Acoustic is a music magazine I hadn't really heard of before doing this task, it focuses on one type of guitar, acoustic which is a lighter sound and creates a less heavy type of music. The magazine of the title ‘Acoustic’ is simple and straight to the point. For the background of the magazine a gradient colour of blue has been used, so at the point where the colour is darkest at the top the white letters have been used. This creates the image of clouds which makes me think of the words; peaceful, calm which is what the magazine could be giving the idea that acoustic music is. Both of the men on the front cover are wearing glasses, I feel this gives the impression of both these men being intellectual and mature, which could be trying to show potential readers this magazine is targeted at an older market. From the clothes both men are wearing we can tell they aren't the typical  ‘business men’ they still look smart but add an edge such as one of the men is wearing a leather jacket which gives the image of him being more of a rocker than a typical mature man. The layout of this magazine is quite typical of a magazine. The main focus is the image and the words are placed round it, which might be trying to show how important they’re and how they're highly respected. Within the text an image of a rosette is used, this is the symbol to show that someone is a winner which may be how the magazine feels, that their magazine is an accomplishment.
