MAGAZINE ANALYSIS
     Alice Stone
THE BRIEF


The brief was to make a magazine front cover for a college magazine, I chose
  to do a college magazine that involved a lot of music influences and was
                  mainly about music for college students.
WHAT WORKED


I think on my front cover the picture worked really well because it suits the music and
                               college genre really well.
I think the masthead and name worked really well because it is short and snappy but
                  because of the black on red it draws attention.


I also really like the red, black and white colour scheme because everyone knows that
those colours go well together and I think that they are common colours and colours
                    that people look towards particularly the bright red.
WHAT DIDN¡¯T WORK SO WELL?


Sometimes on my magazine front cover I have used black over dark areas of
              the picture so it hasn¡¯t showed up very well.
MOST DIFFICULT?



  The part I found most difficult was the amount of layers and
making sure they were all right for example I cut the head out of
  the body and moved it about the writing at the top so it stood
out, but I found that part very difficult to get it lined up correctly.
WHAT WAS EASY?


I found the masthead easy because I already had practise with it before so I
                           knew how to do it.
WHAT I LEARNT


                         I learnt ¨C
            how to put effects onto a picture.
            Use text effectively on a magazine
          A lot about the layout of a magazine
    Colours that work on a magazine to get attention
              Conventions of a magazine
          Things that have to be on a magazine
               New things on Photoshop
Good idea of what works and what doesn¡¯t for future work.
IF I WAS TO DO IT AGAIN I
                                 WOULD¡­


If I was to do my whole magazine front cover again I would use a picture of a
        band with their instruments and make it look very professional.
 I would also change my layout slightly so that things were clearer but I would
  mostly keep it the same because I am very pleased with it overall and I think
      that it looks good and will appeal to the target audience of students
                    particularly ones with an interest in music.
COMPARISON¡­


  I would compare my magazine to a magazine like ¡®Q¡¯ because I got my idea
for the masthead from this magazine and it would appeal to the same audience
                              as my magazine
OVERALL¡­


  Overall I am very pleased with my magazine front cover, I think that it is
perfect for the audience that I am appealing to and has a lot of variety from a
                       musical point of view within it.
