A man is in the centre of the magazine and all the writing is all around him. The image is very symmetrical.
The coverlines go around the image stating what will be in the magazine. The only coverline that is not placed around the image is the coverline that is talking about the guy that is on the front cover. Also the colours used to write about his coverlines are a different colour to the rest of the coverlines. Everything written about him is all in two colours. The colour red that is used could be represented as him being guilty without actually saying that he is guilty. The person in the image looks confused and sad that why is he going through this trial and tribulations. The way his hands are placed on where his temple is suggests that he is distressed and fed up with the allegations put upon him. Or this could also mean that he might be guilty and regrets what he has done. His face could mean two things angry or him being sorry. Also there is low key lighting in the background and like a spotlight on his face this makes him look like he is in prison and he is being questioned by the police. This is also apparent due to the background colour which is grey which also makes him look like he is in prison. In one of the coverlines being represented it says “guilty of being rich, black, and famous” this coverline shows that the magazine is being biased and they do not think that he is guilty that he is being framed because he is black and successful and the peron accusing him probably wants his money. Even though the allegations of him sleeping with under age girls are really strong it does not even say what he is being accused of on the front cover because people already know and the stage he is at know is going on trial, which makes the allegation serious but the magazine is not portraying this. The coverlines show that this is an rnb magazine because of the names shown. There are no props represented on the front cover I think this is because of the image being shown and the topic behind it. There are no costumes either apart the red shirt he is wearing. Also on the top corner it tells us what else R.kelly is up to so he is the main focus on the magazine front cover. R.kelly looks unclean because he has a beard coming on when normally he has a clean shave this shows that he is under a lot of pressure and stress. The magazine name which is the masterhead is bold and is written in lower case which shows that the magazine is not very formal. The colour of the masterhead is black which makes it stand out from the rest of the magazine because Black is the traditional colour of magazine titles and also it contrasts with the red and the yellow shown in the coverlines. Something unusual that is not normally seen on magazine front covers are writing written in capitals above the masterhead so when people see the magazine the first thing they see is R.kelly’s name which for this particular issue will make readers buy the magazine because people familiar with the rapper’s case will want to know what is happening with him. All the coverlines are in the same font apart from the one to do with R.kelly to make his coverline stand out from the rest. There is a coverline that is written at the bottom right corner of the magazine because it does not have anything to do with rnb artists so it is not very important but is still on the cover to show that the magazine is not just music related.
