Research

For the second part of our prelimirary task we had to research into the forms and conventions of similar products to the one Iam going to produce. To do this we had to find 3 covers of magazines which were aimed at the same audience as we have identified and then see if the 3 magazine covers have a similarity between one another.

In subject matter for this type of magazine, it would have to be for people who like the music world and for students who like to do music in school or college etc... The colours used in this magazine are pretty bland. The background are always either black or white. But there is a bit of colour involved in the forground, for example the flames coming off the person guitar and always the logo for the magazine. The layout is always more or less the same aswell. The logo in the corner, the same coloured background, the model people always pretty much in the middle of the magaizne and then the different key conventions around them or on top of them.

The font used in the magazine are simple, just normal Arial or sans serif text. Always bold and in capital letters.
