Rock Magazine Analysis

From this process I have learnt that positioning is key, the way people are positioned gives off different impressions completely. The fact that there is a man in the middle, who is higher than the other two, suggest that he has more control over the band, this may be the wrong interpretation, however this is why you have to be selective with the positioning you chose. Also i have decided that i dislike that the logo is behing the image, as I think you loose focus on the magazine name itself and concerntrate too much on the image, where as I want my magazine to be remembered not just for it's image.

From this I have learnt that gory images and dark colours are used in rock magazines. Also that fonts are either capitalised or in bold to grab the readers attention. Cover lines are often used with images to support them and this is something I will use on my magazine front cover.

I have decided to do a rock magazine as I think I could be really creative with the image, I could use vibrant makeup and big hair, and the clothing used would be leather as this fits in with the stereotypical rocker image. Below I analysed an existing rock magazine, from this process I have learnt that the fonts I use need to be bold and eye catching, and the colours used need to be dark. The magazine used gory images and a lot of blood, therefore this is something to think about for my magazine.
