Magazine Cover | Textual Analysis



This magazine cover shows actor Leonardo DiCaprio facing the camera face-on. The photo is classed as a 'close up' image, as it shows his head + shoulders/very upper body. His presence fills the majority of the cover, which could symbolise his importance - he could have recently been in a film, or contributed to society etc. The tittle and cover line of this image is written in a bold, red font in capital letters. This could potentially attract the audience because of the vibrant colour used, or how the font is bold which makes it stand out from possibly other similar magazines not using vibrant colour-schemes. 

They have decided to use blue, red and white as the articles around the sides of the cover. This could maybe be because of how this issue of GQ is Australian, and these 3 colours are what makes up the Australian flag. Of course, this could just be the colour scheme that the editors chose, regardless of where it was published.
