Front cover analysis 5

Magazine analysis 3

Q magazine

I researched another Q magazine and found this one was completely different to the other two. I really like the use of the grey box at the side as it is distinct against the background and grabs your attention. I would like to use this on my front cover as it looks professional.

I think the mid three shot works very well as the band Green Day is very well known and I think mid shots are the best to show emotion in the face and body language to emphasise attitude.

The image of Green Day in suits suggest the magazine is stylish yet with the black top with stars on shoes it focus’s on a younger demographic yet can be sold to a wide audience.

The shadows on half of there faces creates intensity and makes them seem harsher. This adds to the gritty nature of the magazine.

The white bold writing really stands out against the back ground. I want to use a colour of font that completely contrasts against the background of my front cover.

I like the lining in red to section bits of the writing off underneath Nirvana. I would like to use that idea in my magazine as it looks professional and sections the writing off well without it looking cramped.

Also the red font next to the white font stands out really well and links to the back ground. The colour scheme works really well as it fits well with the background image.
