Remake and Remodel

My magazine cover featuring Rachel. The magazine cover features Rach making an 'X' (the figurehead of Simon Cowell's X Factor) out of her middle fingers expressing the feelings expressed in "F**K THE X FACTOR". The magazine cover features direct appeal through her use of eye contact with the reader and the incredibly bright light making her appear sub-human and showing that she doesn't conform to the normal (such as the X Factor). "Simon's self..." is a use of alliteration and "Wild Child" is assonance.

P.S. The spelling error on Festival was unintentional but cannot be changed now :(

School magazine.

School magazine; Final contents page and Contents and front cover mock up.

For the contents page i decided to keep the colours red and black against a white background to keep to the school colours. I wanted the contents page to look interesting and so i added photos and kept to the colour scheme.

Before creating for the front covers of our school magazine 'SFM' we discussed the outcomes we wanted from the front covers. I didn't want to make to much reference to school with the colours so that it seemed more mature for sixth from students and not just the regular school magazine.
I used the colour blue for the masthead as i decided that it was a neutral colour and would not be just associated with boys unlike if i would have used the colour pink which may have only attracted female readers.
By using the alliteration 'Teachers, trips and timetables' I decided it would interest readers more than a regular sentence as it is eyecatching.
I kept the barcode and date in the standard place and kept the coverlines school related.

Before creating the final magazine i made basic layouts. This gave me to a chance to think about how my articles would be situated and what would look best. As you can see for the contents page I did not stick to my mock up as i thought it looked un tidy.
As for the front page, I took my own photo for the front cover and kept to the same layout.

2 Week Task: Analysis Of 'Rolling Stone Magazine'

2 Week Task: Analysis Of 'Kerrang Magazine'

'Freedom' magazine is aimed at a niche market. I decided to keep the colours black and purple and one coverline being red as it is a PUG. Changing the colour of the PUG draws the reader's attention to it. I used the alliteration 'security scrutiny' to draw the reader n. Also i think the main cover line 'Who is watching you?' would intruigue the reader as it includes them and makes it personal.

'Photography Now' magazine is aimed at professional and amateur photographers. I dislike the colour scheme i have used here as i think it makes it look untidy. I have used the PUG of winning 'a complete photography starter kit' as I think this would encourage new photographers into buying the magazine. The PUFF 'top 10 cameras' would also interest professional photographers. The 'exclusive' interview with a famous photographer would also interest the target audience.
