What I want to do is write a detailed blog about two magazines of different genres, but one being in the rock category: My first magazine is NME''s February issue, where quite clearly the use of colour is the dominant feature. They use yellow and blue primarily to create an eye catching effect. For the reader to know what magazine it is, NME have listed there mast head on the top left corner. One of the most frequently used ways of directing the viewers eyes is to the centre of interest . The centre of interest is usually the spot in the middle of the page. and in this instant it is The Wombats take up the centre spot, this is because they are the feature article, and the magazine has focused on them. The use of type design is very important here as there is lots going on, and they try to create lots of different formats to help make it look different and keep it interesting to the reader. For example, straight away you notice the bold yellow "WOMBATS" this helps show that this is eye catching and that's what they wanted to do as it is a feature article.
