MAD magazine front cover analysis  ... The magazine is called ‘Mad’ and it is a determinedly satirical magazine lacing comedy and an artistic flare into politics, celebrities and current affairs. It was widely imitated and influential, affecting satirical media, as well as the cultural landscape of the 20th century. Mad's mascot, Alfred E. Neuman, is typically the focal point of the magazine's cover, with his face often replacing that of a celebrity or character who is lampooned within the issue. Here he poses as a reporter interviewing trump alongside all the biggest American broadcasters however his microphone, branded with the Mad ‘M’ is being shoved into Donald Trump’s eye. This comedic approach to democracy and the delegation of power in the States is given a platform that is understood and dark in its humour. The masthead lays behind the cartoon and is overlapped though still eligible as the word ‘mad’. If not, the ‘M’ in the microphone fills in any confusion. The...

Total Film contents page ... The contents page of this Total Film magazine shows the front cover of the issue in the top right corner, the number of magazines published and the date of the issue. However the Total Film masthead is not used beyond it being replicated in the corner. The magazine has been divided into   four sections as ; ‘this issue’, ‘teasers’, ‘every issue’, and ‘total film buff’ where they cover their top 10 films at the moment, quizzes, a n article on a classic scene and notes on a screenplay. There are only two photos on the contents page with one taking more light than the other. A fairly niche film character from The Greasy Stranger sits at the bottom of the contents page while the main character of Assassins Creed takes up more than half of the contents page along with the page number the reader would find it. It is clear than the Assassins Creed article is given prominence over others as an exclusive interview. This is because the other niche fil...

Aesthetica magazine contents page analysis  In the contents page of an average Aesthetica magazine, the masthead into used but where the front cover sell lines were lacking are now in much further depth. There is a number attached to each of 10 images which ass have a short description underneath them . turning to the first page and seeing pictures and detail of each   one will be alluring in its organisation. However a new title is used ; ’10 to see’, which was not included on the front in bold statement. At first glance the images all vary in colour and dimension which will attract a range of people who are interested in art. There is no letter form the editor, nor is there any mention of anything but the artists work and what it involves as most people will only read art magazines for that reason ; to make their own interpretations. Similarly, no articles are given prominence over others, much like how the cover is not favouring any particular theme or artist, t...

It is referred to by them as the ‘best UK art monthly’ which is placed above the header in the same shade of purple as the ‘art’ in the masthead.

The magazine includes features on art, film, music and performance, highlighting notable new exhibitions around the world and showcasing photography. The masthead appears to look like a classic newspaper headline which doesn’t overlap what would be the story, being the artwork in this sense.

The artwork is entirely uncovered other than the barcode and this all shows the magazine to be demonstrative of all this culture as it simply hangs above them . The font used for the masthead appears to be like   a typewriter in a sans serif font. The word aesthet...
