Research front cover 2




It has big bold colours on the font and the title of the magazine also the shapes are bright to grab the readers attention and stand out from the white back ground.
The picture of Lily Allen is the dominate image and text on the page and the photo is a posed on to give the effect off mysterious and strangeness and to give its rock appeal to the audience.
It uses different style of font all over the front cover to get it that individual look and uses white font on a black background to make it more profound and stand out from the background but also the colours off the main article text it links in with picture of Lily Allen and how she is posed.
The music artist is in front of the magazine title showing again the music is the main thing and that the article is important,other articles subtitles are in a circle shape and uses colours linking in from the magazine title and colours that stand out from the main photograph and the white background.
The layout is messy but everything is around the photograph showing its different from other magazines and the layout would appeal to a young target market with different fonts and colours showing that the magazine and the articles inside are fun but also exciting, something you want to read about is in the magazine.

Research 2 rock contents page


The layout of the contents is neat in a fashion but also has things overlapping each other to show it’s a usual and different from a neat a tidy layout and doesn't follow a pattern and has pictures or text tilted to show its different from others.
The colours seem to be dark colours but with one bright colour which is effective as it makes all the colours and pictures stand out but also relevant to the rock genre. As the rock gerne is quiet dark and mysterious the colours link well with its gerne of music.
Has pictures of people playing the rock instruments and relevant rock genre pictures and the ones that are playing the instruments are not posing action shots of the people, but with a band they have posed them in a distinctive pose and unusual to promote the band and present them.

All of the text is big and bold so you are able to see the sub titles and the titles of each page, the number colour is big bold and bright, the orange colour and other colours seem to link together really well, black and the orange seem to be the domiant colours.

The drummer picture and font domiant the page showing thats the main article inside this rock magazine the text is not as big as the photographs, the photographs are the largest things on the contents page. The pictures seem to give the reader insight into what the articles are about or who they are about plus they can also be the most important articles in the article and the main article maybe the larger size photograph.
There isn't that much text on the contents page and just a little bit underneath the subtitles but the text maybe somthing that would make the reader read on and want to buy it because they are interested with information and the articles inside and they want to find out more about the bands and music.

Research 1 classic rock


The magazine front cover of a rock magazine it uses pictures of the genre of music but also uses a simple and not a bright colour scheme it’s a more a dark colour scheme to go with the genre of rock but with the gold highlighting features its fits in with classic and showing that the band is good and great.
Picture isn't posed showing an action shot of the band and the fonts are big and bold and take up most of the front cover along with the picture to show that they are the main article.
The picture is infront of the magazine title showing that the music and the band is more important than the magazine itself. The text is writen at the sides or the bottom of the main picture on the front cover showing that the band on the front is the main article and what the magazine cares more about.
The free things in the magazine is advertised in the corner of the photo, as its trying to not cover up the main photo but uses a bright colour to make it known
The photo is in a greyscale to give the effect of old but dark linked with the rock theme.The text is writen big and bold but only big and bold on the band names showing music and bands are more important, that it means its all about the music inside and advertising its the best genre and the best music. The cover is all filled no white just dark and bold colours going with the gerne of music giving the impression that its rough and untidy unlike other music. Also a gold banner at the top of the magazine can also be seen and it stands out from the dark background colour and picture and its advertising a music concert, and it yet again shows it cares about the music it promotes in the magazine.
