Working With Layout and Conventions (Self Assessment)

 This is a cover of a magazine 'M' it shows Rap Star Drake i have chosen to use a red text as it matches to masthead, I have used a big bold text  to make the stereotypical 'RnB' Style. I have included a Pug (a free giveaway) and have used a gold square to grab the audiences attention with a black circle in the middle with contrasts the white background, intriguing the audience to buy it. The color of this circle and square also matches the skyline so there is a constant color scheme of red, white and gold from his t-shirt to the main text. 

 This magazine featured an unknown band which we had to name and personally i thought Diskonnekted suited there style and genre. I replaced the c's with k's and reversed them given the magazine a feel of individuality. Once again, i added a pug to grab the audiences attention and give them an incentive to buy it. I also added an 'Inside Exclusive' from another bad to give the audience a taste of whats inside and inform them on the genre.

 Thirdly, This magazine features 'Bjork' and as you can see she has a classic 3D effect with the blue and red running round the face therefore i decided to use a red and blue font to suit the house style. Also the 'X' from Music_X has a red luminous glow so therefore the red text fits in nicely with the color of the Pug and the Skyline.  The Pug 'Free CD' makes people want to buy it 

 This Magazine is called Pitch and features Marilyn Manson on the front cover, This immediately tells us the genre and if you didn't know who was the black hair with the white face would allow us to see what music it is.  I added a patchy text for the main text giving it a unique edgy feel. 

Lastly, SounD magazine has a very big focus on the band the Kings of Leon as it is an exclusive issue about them there i added an interview with the lead singer, this is so people are intrigued by it, Then for the main text i added a quote from his interview once again, p[people want to find out more on what he has to say, I did this is white text to stand out against the black background
