MUSIC MAGAZINES

For my R&B music magazine i used a very basic color scheme which 

i think recognizes its self with everyone. I placed my image on a white

 background which helps bring out/magnify the colors of the image and the text

 that is placed on the photo.I used a variety of fonts for the magazine, the font 

style for the title is different to the fonts on the rest of the page i thought by

 doing that one it would be very interesting and also it will draw attention to the

 different element on the page. The text are in a variety of colors and sizes as well,

 this also helps draw the attention readers and establishes which things on the cover

 is a 'most read' story if i may call it that.The image on the cover of the magazine is

 very similar to those that are on R&B magazines front covers. It is a picture of a very

 sexy woman,who looks very seductive and confident in her pose, it is also a picture 

of a famous singer in the music. This helps appeal to both men and women firstly

 because it is a picture of a very sexy women who has a very large ass that catches 

every ones attention and secondly it a picture of a famous singer. The name i chose

 to give my magazine was just from a poster i saw an thought it was quite interesting

 and would sort of fit in with the genre of my magazine. The language on the cover is

 very informal because of the audience it's aimed at, there was a lot of slangs used

 which would help connect the magazine with the audience.

For my Indie magazine the image takes up the whole page. By just looking at
the image the audience would be able to identify themselves with the genre of
 the music base on the way the characters are dressed in the image. The boys 
in skinny jeans with a sort of ruffle hair do while the girl is dressed in vintage 
look. The vintage classy look is supported by the piano in the picture which is 
out dated to some extend. The is quite formal, no slangs are use as in the R&B
magazine front cover because the readers of this magazine are classy and
professional to some extent. The color scheme i chose for this magazine is white,
red and a touch of yellow. I chose to use the red and white simply because it
blends in the colors the characters are wearing and i chose the yellow because
it will stand out and sort of give a different feel to the magazine. I also displayed
some other indie artist which i thought would help support the main image in 
appealing to its audience also to help diversify the out look of the magazine. The 
name i gave the magazine is dutch i think and is the name of an indie band.
If i had to do anything different i would try to use a variety of images which
would be of a more professional standard.

Everything i chose to do for this magazine is very stereotypical of a metal music 

magazines. The color of the background is black which gives it a very spooky

feeling which is usually associated with  a heavy metal magazines.The image i used on

the cover was a woman dressed in dark clothing looking kinda scary, i also chose to

put a shadow effect to the picture which helped bring out the whole metal concept. 

There are different font types used on the cover, the font style of the title is very different 

to that of the font types on the rest of the magazine. The styling of the fonts i think is a major 

contributer to the whole metal idea because they're quite Gothic. The text are in different sizes

and colors which work well with the background of the image. There are also several other

 metal bands displayed on the front cover which helps in the drawing of the audience.
