One of the things that stands out to us
first is the masthead, ‘SPIN’. This is the only form of colour on the front
cover, which makes it very noticeable to the audience. By keeping this the only
colour on the page, and being so bold and bright, it encourages us to recognize
the magazine’s brand, and associate with it, due to its consistency. Another
thing to stand out massively is the main image. The main image seems to be
Damian Abraham, the lead singer of a band known as F***ed Up.
You can see from the positioning of his hands and face, and his attire that the
band, or him himself, could have a rather niche taste, or seem rather niche
themselves. The magazine is in greyscale over all, and this makes the magazine
more unisex, rather than accustomed to just one gender. This works well as it
makes the audience larger, and can make the magazine attracted to everyone in
the audience more equally. The cover lines really help to make the magazine
more appealing, as they state things like ‘THE BEST OF 2011’ and the magazine
is ‘FEATURING’ many bands and artists that made the ‘TOP 40 ALBUMS OF THE
YEAR’. This is very appealing as they are showing the most popular bands and
artists, making the magazine seem more intriguing, as nobody really wants to
read about the least popular, or the worst. Spin have chosen only the best to
feature, making the content seem far more interesting over all.
One of the things that stands out to us
first is the masthead, ‘NME’. This is one of the largest size fonts on the
page, making it more noticeable, and due to the font being so bold, it is also
the biggest amount of yellow on the page too. By sticking to the same font as
always, it encourages us to recognize the magazine’s brand, and associate with
it, due to its consistency. Another thing to stand out massively is the main
image. The main image is the band ‘The Horrors’. This makes the main image
rather interesting as they are an upcoming band, and are reasonably popular. By
using this band as the main image, it attracts attention, especially as the
band members are all relatively attractive males. However, the main band member
seems to be the one in the middle, as other band members seem to have their
faces half showing, and are further back from the camera. Overall, the
magazine’s layout is yellow white and perhaps some brown. This is a rather
different colour scheme to many other magazines, making it more noticeable, but
also makes it seem more unisex, rather than just for girls, or just for boys.
This is great, as it makes the audience a wider range because of this, and
suits more people’s tastes and wants. Some of the cover lines make the magazine
more interesting too, one being ‘How Britain’s best band finally broke through’
This is important, as it makes it seem like you could get to know all about the
band and how they managed to become popular, something that many readers are
interested in knowing. Other cover lines include things about ‘Amy Winehouse’,
‘Noel Gallagher’ and ‘The Maccabees’. All of which being increasingly
popular, making the magazine more intriguing once again. Over all, the cover
looks tremendous, and is very different in comparison to other covers made,
making the magazine seem really unique.
One of the things that stands out to us
first is the masthead, ‘Rolling Stone’. This is one of the only things on the
page to be red, or a bold colour in general, making it more noticeable, and due
to the font being such a vibrant colour, it is one of the most noticeable
pieces of text on the cover. By sticking to the same font as always, it
encourages us to recognize the magazine’s brand, and associate with it, due to
its consistency. Another thing to stand out massively is the main image. The
main image is the band ‘The Rolling Stones’. This makes the main image rather
interesting as they are an extremely popular band, and practically share the
same name as the magazine itself. By using this band as the main image, it
attracts attention, as the band are one of the most popular bands known today,
and are loved by a huge amount of people. What really makes the main image
special is the fact that all four members are on the page equally, and there is
no leading role, making the piece seem better, in my opinion, due to this
equality. Overall, the magazine’s layout is red, grey, black and white. This is
a rather popular colour scheme used by many other magazines, making it seem
very common, which is a rather big disadvantage. However, these colours are very
popular, making the magazine seem increasingly more appealing. Some of the
cover lines make the magazine more interesting too, one being ‘Mick & Keith
THE UNEASY PEACE’ This is very important, as it’s about the main image, and
shows you about their conflicts and how they have overcome them, something
which any gossiper is dying to know. Other cover lines include things about
‘Fall Out Boy’ and ‘Kanye
West’s Secret Album’. All of which being increasingly popular, making the
magazine more intriguing once again. Over all, the cover looks great, and they
have the perfect cover lines and main image to make it an interesting magazine,
that many people will want to get their hands on.

One of the things that stands out to us
first is the main heading, ‘THE VACCINES’. This
is the boldest piece of writing on the page, which makes it very noticeable to
the audience. By making this so bold, it makes us more likely to read the
writing and see what the double page spread is about. Another thing to stand out massively is the
main image. The main image seems to be the band The Vaccines, a relatively
popular band, known for being indie. You can see from the positioning of the
band members who
the most important band member is, as they are at the front, and closer up,
meanwhile the other band members are further behind and seem less important.
Their apparel also shows how indie they are. The double page spread seems
vintage, this
works well as it really sets the colour scheme well, whilst continuing to show
individuality. Also, the
colour scheme looks brilliant, as there are mostly browns and creams and
tertiary colours, but then there are little splashes of a vibrant blue, to give
the spread some life, and really add to it, which works terrifically. It is
also very appealing as the double page spread seems put together well, without
there being far too much writing, or too many pictures. Overall, it looks
brilliant, and I would recommend it to those around me.
One of the things that stands out to us
first is the main heading, ‘GENERATION X’. This
is the boldest piece of writing on the page, which makes it very noticeable to
the audience. By making this so bold, it makes us more likely to read the
writing and see what the double page spread is about. Another thing to stand out massively is the
main image. The main image seems to be of a man performing, perhaps on stage. You
can see from the positioning of the young man that he is halfway through a
performance or is in the middle of doing something as he is not looking at the
camera, and is holding something that he seems to be in the middle of moving.
His apparel also shows what sort of trends he follows, or even sets perhaps. The
double page spread is
black and white, but also has a few bursts of colour to make the spread seem a
little more vibrant and eye-catching. The double page spread also seems put
together well, without there being far too much writing, or too many pictures,
which makes it look far more intriguing, and makes people far more likely to
read. Overall,
it looks wonderful,
and I
would definitely
recommend it to
those around me.
