Music Magazine

Although the picture is in black and white, a more colourful sort of style can be seen in the cover of "Vibe" magazine here simply by a bright red to add something a bit more visually interesting to the page. I also plan to mainly include a black and white theme to my own magazine with only a sporadic addition of bright colours which may help in drawing attention. Although I am unsure of which colours I will use on my magazine as well as the black and white, this is a colour scheme I have also seen on other magazines whilst doing research and so I feel a similar style to this would be well received. This use of only one single colour creates alot more impact as it is not what is seen in magazines on a day-to-day basis and is probably reserved for special issues which I will try to give the feel of with my magazine. For my music magazine I will be intending to keep in with the theme of others in the genre in order to make my magazine appeal to the current readers of these. I will be basing my research mainly on "Vogue" type magazines centered around the music industry and what is currently popular. The simplicity of these magazines is something I hope to continue in my own work. One of the main attributes of a music oriented magazine is how basic and to the point it is, only occasionally going overboard. Both can be shown in the first two pictures however I feel that at an amateur level I may not be able to keep my magazine so simple as to focus on just my picture and my magazine may end up being slightly more busy, however I will try not to let this take over the magazine.
