analysis of my chosen magazine

Analysis of music magazines

This plan would help me keep track of the work I need to do, also it'll help me understand how long it may take to do each stage of my work

Analysis of magazine cover

My magazine cover adheres and challenges the conventions of music magazines, the large and bold masthead head is a clear convention of music conventions whereas some other things like the photograph is challenging the conventions of a music magazine because the person in the picture isn't giving direct address to the camera.

It also addresses my target audience because the masthead is really big and bold and is called "broken silence" which is quite abnormal for a title of a magazine. Also the photograph relates to the audience (mainly male and teen aged).

Magazine cover and contents page

This is the magazine cover I had designed as well as the contents page.

I quite like the composition of the image because the person on the front cover is in the centre of the page, making them automatically the centre of attraction, also they are highlighted amongst the other people and the background.

This is the contents page for my magazine, it is a bit plain because I wanted it to differ from the front cover, and my main aim was to be simple but full of information.
