Magazine research

I like this magazine cover as it's very simple. I like the way that all the writing is white and the same font because it makes it more established. The picture is also very simple, but it looks interesting. I also like the style of writing used for the title 'Vogue' and it looks very sophisticated which suits the target audience of women aged about 16-early 40's.

In contrast to the music magazine, NME, I think this magazine is very different. I like the choice of colours used as they all match and fit well together, however the way the writing is all different sizes, and mostly quite big, it makes the magazine look a bit too crowded. I also don't really like how there are lots of images on the front because it looks a bit too busy and it is hard to focus on just one thing. However most people don't tend to actually read what is on the front cover half of the time, which is good because it still is able to capture the audiences attention as it's so bold.

I think this magazine cover is really well thought and planned out. I like the use of colour in this one, its bold and captures your attention. It is also good how it says you get a free CD because that will make people want to buy it if they get something free with it. Even thought the magazine heading is quite small it still stands out just enough. I think its very clever how they also have to writing in the middle saying 'LOVE MUSIC HATE RACISM'. This is good because the people in the background relate to tis as they are mixing from different ethnic backgrounds. I also like the way that on the side it looks as if part of the page has been ripped out, it makes it look more interesting. Although the cover is very simple and there isn't actually much on it, it looks busy, but in a good way, and I think it works well at getting attention and standing out on the shelf.

You can see from looking at this front cover that the cover lines are mostly on the left, and for most of the cover, they have used the same font. It also shows a group of teenage boys mixing together from different ethnic backgrounds. You also see that in bold at the top, and again further down, it says you get a free CD with it. Lastly on the right hand side its made to look like art of a page has been ripped out.
