the colours used on the magazine cover are very dark they use colours such as black white and grey the reason they have done this is to emphasises the magazine cover more as it is in red so this would

immediately catch the readers eye. In the left hand bottom corner of the magazine there is a main headline

in big clear writing this is used so that this is the first thing that the reader will read and the writer thinks this is the one that is most likely to make the reader want to

buy the mag, there is also smaller writing in the top right corner about what else is in the magazine this is used to try and encourage to reader even more. The

target audience for this magazine is people who are in the hip hop/ rap music I know this because of the artist

that they are advertising on the front of the mag. the most effective thing on this magazine in my opinion is

how they have used the dark colours to make the brand name catch the readers eye as this would help make your brand name well known. I notice that the model look quite underdressed which links in with the head

line to the left of it .

• The main colours on this magazine is black and red writing and the white back ground the reason the writing it black and red is so that it blends in with the red brand name that that there is a blend of colours that all fit in together. There is writing in a average size above the brand name with some of the names which are inside the mag this is to try attract the reader if there is a artist they like in there but they have to keep it at a average size so that it doesn’t become more emphasised than the brand name , there is also writing around the left and right size of the model on the left of the model the writing is big as this is about the model this makes it the main story in the mag and on the right it tells u a bit more about what you can find in the magazine in a smaller font. The target audience is someone who has a generally enjoys music as there is a variety in the magazine or interested in one off the artist in the magazine.

• The magazine has the main brand at the top of the page covered partly by a box talking about what’s inside the mag this shows confidence from the writer of the magazine as he knows his magazine brand is that well known that he doesn’t have to put the full brand name on the front cover. The main colours used on this mag are white yellow and grey. The fonts vary in size depends on the importance for example is says ‘little Wayne goes rock’ in a big font then underneath it says ‘raps genius changes his game’ in a smaller rock to give the reader more of an insight into what to article is going to be about. The writing goes down the left hand side of the page in an organized line to give the magazine a professional look. The target audience of this magazine are people who have a interest in rock music i know this because the mag is named after a rock band. The most effective thing on this magazine is the name as it is related to the type of music the magazine is about and would attract the type of reader the writer would want to buy this magazine.

The colours used on this magazine are just plain black and white to help blend in with the white ‘NME’ and make the magazine look more professional. The font size varied depending on the importance on the headline for example ‘Florence’ is writ in big writing in all capital letters because this is the main thing with in the magazine that why she is also the model on the front of the magazine. Most of the writing on this magazine is at the bottom of the page the reason for this is so that the reader can clearly see who the model is. The target audience would be towards Florence fans and people who enjoy music as there would be a variety of different things in the magazine. The model has red hair and a white t shirt this makes her stand out as this is the only colour out of the format of the front cover. The most effective thing about this magazine cover is how they made all the colours blend in so it made the model stand out as her hair colour is red.

The maker of this magazine has used red and white only on the magazine so that the mag looks professional as all the colours fit together, the only colour that stands out is gold and this was used by the publisher to emphasise that it tis the magazine 300th issue. There is writing on the left bottom corner of the page it a vary of sizes to show so that the magazine doesn't look boring as its all in the same font also in the right bottom corner there is writing in a big font which is on top on the model which reads her name and the headline they’ve chose to put about her. The target audience would be Adele, Liam Gallagher, Keith Richards and U2 as this are the main name they have shown in a big font on the front of the magazine. The most effective thing I think they’ve used on this magazine is making all the colours on the front of the magazine blend in so they can show that its their 300th issue in gold which makes it eye catching because it don’t blend in
