Music magazine front covers

1. It has a very messy style lay out which is good as it relates to the
music genre of the magazine (rock). Even though the text is laid
out quite neat, it still goes bigger to smaller all over the page. This
makes the main headlines on the front cover stand out.
The colour scheme is
good and is simple. This
is good because the red
background makes the
other text stand out, this
is due to the colours
being different, even
though it is very simple,
it is also very effective.
The mast head is very
effective at it stands out
from everything on the
page. It is a simple
name and a simple font
but is effective and
catches the readers
eye.
On the bad side though,
the title is smaller than
the ‘FOO FIGHTERS’
sub title which may lead
to the target audience
getting confused. But
the company might feel
comfortable doing this
as the magazine is well
known.
Using the blues, reds, yellows
(primary colours) are extremely bold
and would help the magazine stand
out.
Also the colours are very positive
which will entice the target
audience.

2. This is a 60’s style magazine and the fonts and the style is
relative to the age of the product with the greys, blacks and whites
and the Beatles in blue. These colours represent the fashion and
style of the 60’s era. Each individual on the picture looks as
though they are equally important with there hair styles and how
they dress. But the image also shows the different facial
expressions of the Beatles which shows that they are their own
individual characters.
Each individual person
also has a different
colour on which may
show that they have
different personalities.
Where it says ‘THE
BEATLES’ this is the
same text that is on the
album cover for this
band, this is good as
readers will recognise it
better.
The txt is simple bold
colours which would
attract the attention of
the target audience.
The picture blurs out at the bottom which tries to focus the
readers attention on the faces.
How the title is behind the picture it shows the makers are
comfortable knowing that the magazine is well known and people
will still know what magazine it is without seeing the full image.

3. With the title being behind one f the persons heads, this
shows the magazine company is comfortable with there
name being slightly covered as they are well known.
The image is of two
people who are
dressed the same
and have the same
hair styles as john
Lennon and Paul
McCartney. This
would attract people
who liked there
music and would
attract them.
The white
background allows
the rest of the
writing to stand out,
the white and red go
well and the bold
red stands out from
everything on the
page.
The page is well laid out and gives the magazine a more
formal view. Also there are several sub headings which
are in bold text which stand out and show that they are
the main story's in the magazine.
