This cover is very ordered and follows the conventions of a magazine, route of eye and the principles of thirds. At the start of the route of eye you are taken across the masthead of the magazine, ‘Disney Hannah Montana’. ‘Hannah Montana’ is in big fonts across the masthead so it stands out to the fans of Hannah Montana. You are then drawn across the main image. This is important because it gives you an incite to what will be in the magazine by the props used. Here Hannah is using a microphone so the audience can take a guess that there will be something to do with singing in the magazine. Then you move across the bottom of the magazine where it’s the last chance for the editors to win over the target audience to purchasing this product. At the bottom it says ‘the movie & change your style’. This will stand out to the target audience because they will like the Hannah Montana movie because they are fans of her. With this being linked in with ‘change your style’ can make the audience think they will show you how to look like Hannah Montana, which will really reach out to the audience. The principle of thirds is mainly to draw focus on Hannah Montana but in the first rule of the cover lines are located. This is useful because they aren’t prominent to the magazine but you need the attention there to give an onlook to the magazine. The main image is of Hannah Montana, which will draw the target audience in if they don’t see the masthead they will recognize the image. The image makes Hannah Montana look stylish and a fashion icon to her fans. The target audience will be female and they will look at her and try to resemble her looks. She is smiling which makes her look like she is having fun and with the microphone it makes her look as if she has fun singing. This could get the target audience interested in singing, as they will see that she is having fun and that they will want to be like her. The colour scheme is simple and effective. The background is a patterned blue and looks modern which will appeal to the target audience, as it will look ‘cool’. The cover lines are either on a pink background with yellow righting or yellow righting with a pink outline. This gives it a feminine touch so it will reach out to the audience. The magazine sticks to 3 colours, yellow, pink and blue which gives it neat ordered look.
