While researching magazine covers I have discovered that most magazines follow the same layout. This is helpful for Charlie and me as we can follow this layout in our magazine cover.
While thinking about ideas for our magazine I decided to look up different punk rock magazine covers, contents page and double spread page to try and get different ideas on how to set out our work.
The one magazine I came across which i really liked was NME. The magazine covers normally have one single picture of an artist with a plain background. The magazine only uses around three colours which compliment the picture and background. This is a good idea for us to use in our magazine.
Good work, Kerri, so far. Comment also on the house style of the magazine as a whole:is it busy or streamlined, strident or subdued, colourful or monochrome? What is the mode of address to its audience? What is the model's gaze? How would you analyse the image? What is the colour scheme?
ReplyDeletePlease would you and your partner separately create a SlideShare presentation on the NME magazine style this week.
Next task for you and your partner: first study this presentation on music magazines: http://www.slideshare.net/rikhudson/music-magazine-history-info
