AS Music Magazine

Genre of magazine

Hip Hop

Rap

Special 1960s section(Beatles at the

Top)

This magazine style is similar to the

one I wish to use as its very basic

but yet very effective due to

minimal words, minimal colours and

an enlarged image which covers

most of the page.

Style of magazine

I’ve chosen to make my magazine that similar to the style of “Clash” magazine.

Examples:

Imaging

The imaging in this cover is very direct,

with multiple use of one image. The design

for this cover is basic by using only one

image, but is effective as its bold and

colourful. This cover suggests one story or

one topic, as there are no adverts or

reference to other topics, plus apart from

the magazine title the only other words used are in relation to the cover picture.

Price, Sell Lines, Masthead

Price:

This magazine reaches to a further audience

as there are 3 prices next to the barcode.

Its not too expensive(in all currencies) in order

to gather more readers.

Sell Lines:

The font type is all the same, to the side of the main cover image are articles there are in the magazine, these are all kept in order with the title of the article in one colour and the insight in another, but the text style and size is are all the same. All the text used on the page is in one style, eventhough some of the text is bold and the rest isn’t, there is a consistency which maintains order and makes it easier to read.

Masthead:

Unlike a lot of music magazines the cover picture sits behind the title, making the title seem bolder and more pronounced. They’ve done this as if to say, “this is the magazine, the magazine is the main purpose. And the stuff inside the magazine is added”. Unlike a lot of magazines which have the image in front of the image suggesting that the stuff inside the magazine is more important than the magazine itself.
