Front cover - NME - Jimi Hendrix

Front cover -NME - Jimi Hendrix 

 I reallyu like the use of colour in this front cover design. I like how Jimi hendrix face is in black and white but hius clothes are really colourful.

I also like the way text is written around his body in a freehand-style font
.
This magazine also has a colour sheme of pink purple and black and white, which i belive are interesting colours and it subverts the stereotype of women being the only gender assoiciated with pink.



 This is a popular rock and metal magazine in the UK. It will give me inspiration for my own magazine on how to layout my front cover, contents page and double-page spread. It will give me ideas on what camera angles and shots to use so as to attract readers. It will also show me what colours and fonts are appropriate to use for 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.

Contents page -(1) just magazine

Contents page- Just a magazine (unknown)   I like the use of imagery and horizontal across two pages.With the images above the titles od each section in the magazine. Im not entirely sure but the images may be relating to one of the titles from each column. I like this idea and it gives a simplistic, yet arty feel to the page. 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

Double page spread - (1) NME - lana del rey

Double page spread - NME   This double page spread has the image on the left and writing including title on the right.This is a pretty average layout, however still looks stylish.  The colour of the image is black and white, which is simple but makes the eye concentrated to the image. I like the colour of the light blue, its refreshing and stands out.However the colours are not particularly exciting in the way they have been lain out on the page.
