Analysis Of Magazine Cover 2...

This magazine is aimed more at the pop scene. However it is a good contrast to the style of music I will be having for my magazine. Unlike the other magazines I have been analysing this magazine has lots of different colours like white, blue, black and orange. The colours all stand out so it’s difficult for the audience to focus on just one part of information when all the rest are also standing out. This magazine assumes the audience has prior knowledge as most of the title is covered by the photo of the celebrity.
The articles advertised on the front cover of this magazine are all about music and celebrity gossip. It’s a different sort of scene to what my magazine will be about however it still has the same layout of information covering photos on the front page. This brings readers attention to the writing when they see the photo.
The barcode and price is in the bottom left hand corner where it is not obvious to the audience this shows that the target audiance would not be that bothered about the price of this magazine.

My Music Theme

The theme for my music magazine will be indie music.

Examples of indie music are:

one night only
simple plan

lilly allen
the ting tings

These are the types of bands that my magazine will be associated with these covers are bright and simple. They are bold and attractive to the audiance.

It has the same theme that my magazine will have so i thought i would analyse this magazine.





The title of this magazine is clearly seen as the pictures don't cover it.
The Background colours are black and white which contrast to the colourful writing and this draws the readers attention to the information.





Like the CD covers there is bold statement colours that attract the readers.

The target audience for this magazine is shown by the picture and headlines. the picture is clearly of someone out of a band so he would be easily recognised by the target audience.

the bar code and price are tucked out of the way in the corner there is no big sign that shows a sale on the price which shows that the target audience doesn't need to be persuaded to buy the product by the discounted price.

What I need to do...

Before I start my music magazine project I must first research other magazines to see how different themes show different looks to attract different audiences. The main magazines I will be analysing are Indie, as this will be my audience and theme. However I have a vibe magazine which is not Indie to show the contrast in the magazines and the people who read them.
