Magazine analysis

The front cover I am analysing is from DJ magazine, and features music producer Hardwell on the front in a close up on a black background. The masthead is partially obscured by the artists' head, highlighting how he is more important than the magazine itself. 
The cover lines are on the right and are not all that visible, as the main image of Hardwell is what takes up most of the cover. Buzz words are used to promote a free CD and the rest of the text is overshadowed by the central image.  
The image has been photoshopped to enhance the noticeability of Hardwell as he is the main draw for readers of the magazine and his prescience is key to the magazine's success.
The skyline the magazine uses comments on the magazine's ideology, saying it is serious, using "music, clubs, gear, tech, fun". Fun is used to highlight how the magazine is both serious and light-hearted.
