My magazine has been designed for both males and females from the age of 13+. I think the cover fits the criteria. The genre that I chose for my magazine was ‘pop’. I chose this genre of music as from my research I found that all music magazines in this genre were more for younger kids instead of teenagers. Also the magazines in which are suitable for older people are more of the rock genre.
I am happy with the overall layout. I like the background picture of the sky because it is simple but effective. The light blue colouring does not indicate whether the magazine is for males or females which I was aiming for.
The font of the title works because it is easy to read and stands out. Also, the fonts that I have used for the cover lines are bold enough to catch the reader’s eye. I think that the different colour and font of the word ‘statement’ is very effective because you are immediately attracted to that word and know straight away what the main storyline is.
The size and positioning of the picture works well. However, the actual image itself is too dark and makes the whole layout and front cover look a bit dull and boring. If I was to re-do a magazine, I would make sure that the exposure of the picture was right, not to light or too dark, before choosing it to use as my front cover image. I think that the music note works well as it shows the reader that this magazine is not just another cosmopolitan or fashion magazine but it is a music based magazine.
