Front cover (5)- The Wire - shirley collins

Front cover 

I like the use of the square in the left bottom corner, having a pattern and it says the number of the magazine.
The pattern is cool and edgy, I like the idea of incorporating art into my magazine and may even ask someone to design a piece of art for me to add in my magazine.

Double page spread -(2) NME - Mark Ronson

Double page spread NME - Mark Ronson  I like how the title spreads across two pages and may consider to do this for my own magazine page.I feel like it is a good way to bring all the conventions of the page together and links them e.g the image, title, and text. It also is good as it makes the reader look at both pages therefore catching their eye, due to them having to read the title from one side of the page to the other. I would like to pick out a piece of the interview and put the letters in bold and a bigger size, something of interest or a statement. I like how the image takes up a whole page and has props that are interesting and relate to the title.E,g - hammer- relates to the revenge.

I like how the contents gows across teo pages as it dosent feel as squashed, and comes across artistic in this way.Also it is different to standard layout making it alternative which could relate to the music genre I am focusinf on (Indie).I may use this in my own magazine

Front Cover (3) NME - Joe strummer

Front cover  This magazine is mainly dedicated to Joe Strummer .It refers to him as a 'punk icon'. Thus enticing punk lovers and the rest of society to be interested in this magazine especially.  I like the use of the black and white main image of Joe Strummer (when he was young).It gives a nostalgic feel to the magazine, and comes across very stylish and classic. I like the way NME really personalise the front cover to the image and ties it in with the rest of the theme,titles,etc.  Yet again they have used a bold statement for a quote of Jo Strummer:' Don't write slogans write truths'- this ties in with Joe Strummer being highly respected in the music industry and seen as a classic and wise that he is able to make these bold, wise statements. The statement adds in with the style of this magazine, as being bold classic and at times nostalgic. I like however how the nostalgic side of this image is mixed with the bold and colourful font of
