Drakes front cover of Vibe

These two magazines were my main inspiration of my magazine. I really liked the way that they were set out, they were the two magazines which caught my eye when looking through different ones. Even though Kerrang is a rock magazine, I felt like the structure and format of the contents page which is shown above, it a powerful way to make it look successful and really crasp the readers attention. Vibe's edition with Drake was appealing to me personally because I am a fan on his music. Looking beyond this, I felt like the image was a statement on it's own. The fact that it is such a simple image, but it set inbetween such powerful text was the part I enjoyed most on this front cover. The colours really appealed to me and I think it fits in with the genre and mood of the magazine they were aiming for. It fits well with their target audience also, as Drake is a popular choice for the target market.

Magazines

I saw all these different magazines in a shop. I see how much a front cover can range in the different genres that are sold. It gives me an idea how the fashion magazines can look completely different from music ones. Therefore, I need to differentiate mine from all of these by comparing how the codes and conventions are used in different ways.

Magazine inspiration

This front cover of a magazine grabbed my attention when I saw it in the shop. Using bright colours such as pink and yellow makes sure you don't miss what the text says. The images used are relevant to all of the stories use and are used to entertain the reader. Small parts of the magazine such as the price if it are used to make the reader want to buy it as it is cheap. A lot has been put onto the front cover, this gives the reader a sneak peak of what is going to be included in the magazine.
