Music Magazine

Front Cover

As you can see there is a really big difference between my preliminary task and my music magazine. When creating my college magazine I used a simple layout that met most magazines that I looked at, which were music magazines and gossip magazines. When creating my music magazine I looked much more in depth when researching music magazines as I wanted to have a music magazine that followed the forms and conventions of other music magazines so that my magazine would fit in really well if it was to go onto the market.

There are some similarities to both my preliminary task and Music magazine as in both I have used one main image for my front cover and the same for my music magazine. I have also put the title of both magazines at the top in large bold writing. Text has been placed around the outside of the image in different sized text but keeping the same font. I have been more in depth when creating my music magazine as I thought a lot about how I wanted my images to be taken, what exactly my the language of my text was going to say, which fonts would look best and fit my genre of magazine, the colours that I should have used etc.
