This front cover has a simplistic layout and is easy to follow. The use of the colour white in the heading and sunheading has the connotation of simple. This is supported by the simple typography which is used. There are no daring colours used in this text, as this would completely counter the tone of the cover. I think the white links to the subheading, 'Real Talk.' White is more serious, and so is emphasising the idea of truth in the article concerning Rita Ora. The image in the background backs up this idea; it denotes as her smiling into the distance. The connotation of the position of her eyes is this is a natural, unplanned shot; she could be talking to someone at the time and didn't know the photo was being taken. This links to the subheading 'Real Talk' and the use of a white, simple typography, as it adds to the idea of realism and supports the idea of a natural interview and article about Rita Ora. People would be more inclined to read this and would be more inspired, as it's more believable. This is what I want to achieve with my magazine.
White could represent the idea of innocence. The fact Ora is wearing a white jumper brings us back down to earth, and connotes the idea that she is still a normal human being, who started off just like everybody else. The use of red lipstick and dark make-up then reminds us of her performing side, and contrasts the inferior view given of her by the white clothing. This represents the idea of the progression of Rita Ora - the same sort of idea I want to be able to display in my magazine. The way Rita Ora is written on the font of this magazine uses her logo. This again reminds us of the idea she is a Pop artist and performer, as well as having a more serious side.
The use of the '+' sign as oppose to using the word 'plus' suggests an idea of informality, which counters the general formal tone of the cover. It comes across as being more current, yet serious and realistic and the same time, with much more formal typography being used for the title of the magazine. This is again backed up by the way 'Rollacoaster' is spelt, as the deviant spelling also shows informality. This could then attract both an older and younger audience.
