Task 5: Magazine newsstand task

I took an image of the music magazine section in WHSmith. There are various types of music magazine in one row. The music magazines weren't put in specific genres, they were all mixed as you can see that a Jazz magazine is placed next to a magazine with the Beatles and on top of that there is a magazine featuring harry styles. Harry Styles does pop music and the Beatles were a rock band this shows that the magazines weren't placed in specific genres. the magazine that stands out the most is the magazine with Harry Styles name on it as the masthead has a bright yellow background also because the artist is very well known. This shows that although that magazine isn't right at the front, it still appeals to the buyers because of the bright and bold masthead. Most of the magazines are covered by other magazines, you can only see the mastheads on the magazines this is probably why most magazines use bold mastheads to attract their audience as most of the cover lines and front cover images are covered unless they are in the front row. Magazines can be distributed all over the world by mail, through sales on newsstands, bookstores like WHSmith or supermarkets.
