How My Front Cover Research Has Influenced My Planning

My first analysis was of a rock magazine, which was a very rebellious magazine. It used dark tones that I feel worked really well for the dark type of music. If any of my magazines is of a dark nature the use of dark tones will work excellently. It uses multiple profanities which I feel works perfectly for a magazine that would be targeted towards young people. The use of explosions in it added to the male orientation of the magazine. My second analysis appealed to me in different ways. I really like how freely the artists names were displayed around the front cover this gives a feeling of how young the magazine is which appeals to the young target audience. The colours used were really appealing, they were very vibrant and stood out to me however the poses they were in did not appeal to me very much as I found them to be quite intimidating. The fact that it uses men and women shows diversity, which really appeals to me and will appeal to men and women of the young age. My third analysis was very simple however I feel simplicity is the highest form of sophistication. It uses plain colours, which I feel is great as it will not be hard on the eyes. The use of banners give a professional look, which is what I, will want to use too. It uses a 3 colour scheme, which keeps it simple yet prestigious.
