Layout experiments task

One of the most successful things that i have managed to achieve when designing this magazine cover was the cohesion between the masthead and drake by the colours of the text. Most of my text is gold to match the colour of Drake's shirt and his accessories. I have also made a reference to one of his most famous songs, therefore, it is relatable to fans and adds humour to the magazine. Furthermore, i have included some red highlights to match the text to the masthead. Furthermore, having less colours on the page can mean that the page looks more organised. I have also included ancorage text to hook the reader, and puffs such as exclusive interviews to persuade the reader to buy the magazine. I have also included the essentials such as the date of issue publishing, website and price to accompany the barcode.

 With this magazine, i had to build up and image of a band. I have chose this to be a hippy band because of how the band look and the tie-dye colour of the woman's dress, which is stereotypically hippie. I have chose the name 'Hippie Hype' as it relates to the genre of the band and the word 'Hype' suggests that their music is fun and interesting. In the subtitle and anchorage text i said that the band is new, which can persuade the reader to buy the magazine and find out more about the band. I have chosen to put red boxes behind the main cover line and the subtitle to make it cohesive to the masthead. I have chosen the text colour to be yellow and red as they go together, and match the masthead. I have chosen the font of the main headline and the font of the band be in a hippie style to contribute to the genre of the band. Furthermore, i have included a cd review which may attract the audience. I have also included the price, date and website to make the magazine able to sell.

 In this magazine cover i decided that the main colour should be red to match the hints of red in the masthead and in the picture of the artist. I also think that the red colour stands out boldly  against the black background. I have also included anchorage text which can hook the reader and persuade them to buy the magazine. The additional cover lines will tell the audience what is in the magazine without them having to look at the contents page. I have also included the date of when the magazine was published, website and price so that the magazine can be sold in retail. A couple of white elements on the page also link to to the masthead, which makes the page look more organised and creates cohesion.

For this magazine i have also used the colour red as the main colour. This is mostly because of the masthead and to create a sense of cohesion between it and the text so that the page looks well organised. I made the main cover have two layers to it so that 'Marilyn Manson' is the main thing that stands out on the page apart from the masthead. Furthermore, the subtitle to the main title is in white to link to the main image and also make it more visible and differ from the rest of the text.

For this magazine, i have used the colour white as the main colour of fonts in order to make the page look organised. The white text also links to the white background and makes the main image stand out more. I have of course included the date, price and website along with the barcode in order to make the magazine able to sell. Above the masthead i have also included a selling line, which is a motto of the magazine which briefly describes the content of the magazine and make people want to buy it. I have also included a pug, which is the giveaway which will persuade the audience to buy the magazine as they get something free with it. Furthermore i have also included other cover lines to make the reader aware of what else they can find in the magazine.
