ØTo look for inspiration for my front cover to my music magazine I have researched into Vibe magazine. I have chosen Vibe over Rap-up magazine as I particularly like their style and would like to include similar conventions into my own work.
ØI think the image used on the cover is very effective. The images colours works well with the rest of the cover. The image also portrays women as being, sexy, confident and casual.
ØIt portrays this because she is looking directly at the camera, looks as if she taking a picture of the reader, she is wearing jeans and a t-shirt but still looks rich. This is the view of women I would like to portray of women.
Ideas for magazine cover layout
ØThis image shows a magazine front cover of a past issue of “Blender” magazine, a music, celebrity , gossip and entertainment magazine, As my magazine is aimed at a young target audience I need to include particular conventions of other general music magazines, as I understand my target is attracted to “bright” and “eye catching” objects and are more likely to pick up a magazine which is visually pleasant and has a popular coverimage.
ØThe spaced out cover lines and orange font is what makes this magazine very recognisable, I would like to include this into my own magazine.
