Cover page - Final

My magazine is intended to appeal to the teenage rock music fan demographic. The magazine is informal, which is demonstrated in the serif font "Birth of a Hero", which is a messy, graffiti-like font, which reflects many people's opinions on the rock music genre. The images also demonstrate this by being informal and entertaining. The title "Title" supports this. It reflects the laziness and immaturity of the rock genre fans, by gving it a basic simple name. It also has one letter as a different colour to the rest of the title, which demonstrates and establishes the colour scheme.
The colour scheme (black, white, blue) is established immediately and lack of any other colour is used on this page. White and black contrast and blue is easily readable on both and catches the reader's attention. The images also use this colour scheme, which I feel makes the magazine stand out more. The respective use of white and blue when revealing the articles adds consistency.

Only the band names are mentioned, which may attract the reader's curiosity and intrigue. They may also be fans of the band and would like to read it for that reason.

Main image is combination of 5 images. These are made to resemble the band name "Like Clockwork" in that the outer images are all loojking around in a clockwise direction. I felt I didn't show enough knowledge and understanding and as a result placed all the outer images in taped down polaroid frames, and turned the centre image into a sticker. This furthers the informality and gives the coler a collage-like feel. It also relates to the demographic in that these are very simple, informal photos that would regularly be taken on a day out. The image doesn’t interfere with additional text and is easily established as the main article.
Secondary article is named to draw in readers who may not be interested in the main article. They may want to know who is considered a top guitarist and whether one of their favourites made it.
The lesser information is brought to the bottom of the page where still viewable and in the eyeline of the reader, whilst not taking attention from the main article.
