Research Into Similar Products

After much consideration i have chosen to go for the indie genre of magazine as appose to the RnB Style i was thinking about. I thinks this magazine is best suited to me as i can do research into magazines i enjoy and also believe that the ideas for pictures i have in mind will suit this genre well. As you can see from my previous blog post i annotated a Rock Magazine and i am showing the contrast between the Rock and Indie Magazines and how they use the same feature to engage their audience. Firstly, Direct Address is used in a similar way expect this time lots of music stars feature, this is showing off to their audience how much it contains and gives you a lot of information on who/what the magazine is going to be about just from pictures on the front cover. Secondly, The Left Third is very eye catching and the standard colours of NME are recognizable and the Logo is in the top left corner therefore everyone can see it. The Screamer 'PLUS! FALLOUT BOY' is wrote in bright yellow which contrasts the dark background making it stand out more. Lastly, the Pug 'Free HMV discount Card' is in the left third so people  see it and also contrasts the dark background with different shapes and colours
