Analysis of existing magazines


This is my second front page that I will be evaluating, this is similar top NME's front page but also different. For example, they use the same font (Big + Bold) to help stand out and draw the readers eye. I think that NME's cover was more colourful, but this is due to who the magazine is intended to. For example, this is a hip hop genre of magazine. And due to it being a hip hop magazine a large majority of Black people listen to this style of music. This is why they have got a very famous hip hop artist of 50 cent to be the main image. Like NME they show on the front cover, what the feature article is going to be about, and other artists etc that will be included within the magazine, such as at the top it tells of "Vibes top 25 sexiest stars" including popular artists such as Beyonce and Shakira. The dark colour scheme in the background of 50 Cent, could help to emphasise his for of 'bad look' as he is percieved as a 'gangster' so he will want to be perceived as bad. Not in terms of his music but perhaps his way of life. This is good as the dark/stormy background helps to show this, along with his almost scary pose he is doing, looking dead into the camera.
