The style of my magazine is similar to existing popular music magazines. The use of a simple color scheme of black, white and red matches NME’s colour scheme. The person used on my front cover has a similar style to many musisians at the moment, and the use of large headings that are bright colours makes it stand out.
Comparing my magazine cover with an NME magazine shows these factors.
I chose the person that used for my front cover because he is quite tall and thin like a lot males in the music industry are. He also dresses in a similar style to some of the band members of The Killers, the Kaiser Chiefs and other similar bands. I asked him to wear an outfit which suited the color scheme of black, red and white. I believe that his outfit works quite well on the front cover because it doesn’t clash with the colour of the title or draw the reader’s attention away from other sections of the cover, like the titles or the smaller photos.
I kept the color scheme of my magazine quite consistent throughout all the pages, which is a common factor of popular music magazines like NME or Q.
The above photo explains my point.
The types of locations usually associated with this type of music/magazine are slightly grungy or smoky locations, however this can vary from small nightclubs to large venues. However because I am just under the age of 18 I have found it difficult to get into nightclubs so all my photos have either been taken in the colleges photography studio or in one of my friends houses...
Props that I have used on the photos within my magazine have included musical equipment; guitars, drumsticks, recording studio equipment.The photos have also included drinks made to look like alcohol because of the large drinking culture with older teenagers and young adults in this country.
The style of my magazine logo also matches the style because I ave used the simple font Impact, from Microsoft office.
