1. This doesn’t look like a
music magazine.
Very simple, e.g. with
the font style and layout.
On some of the text you
can make out what the
writing says.
The red outline does well with
the black although its not the
sort of magazine I would
purchase.
The guy in the picture
looks too formal.
The eye contact of the
man is good as it draw
the reader and viewer
in. however I think it’s
a little too much he’s
almost staring you
down.
The colours on the
magazine aren't very
colourful it wouldn’t
really make me want to
read it.

2. Samantha looks really angry and
not very inviting. Its not willing me
to read it.
Her clothes she wearing in this
magazine cover isn't very flattering
for it. Usually girls on the front of
covers make themselves look more
appealing to get more people
interested in buying the magazine.
Some of the
writing on the
cover is a bit
blurry, the colours
don’t match and
neither does the
fount sizes and
body.
Doesn’t look
professional. Not eye
catching.
Using words such as ‘
Britain's best’ shows
the reader that it
shows they
recognise charts.

3. Do’s and Don'ts
• Don’t leave to much space around the outside of the photo, font
or text. As it looks bare.
• Don’t have bad lighting when taking a photo.
• Do have a colour scheme throughout your cover this helps it all
piece together.
• Do make sure you look at the camera when taking the front cover
photo.
• Don’t dress unapropiatly , dress as your magazine suits. E.g. if
your magazine is about rock music dress in a way to suit that style
and genre.
• Do add advertisements and barcodes all things that a good
magizine would have.
• Do look at other top magazines to get tips and ideas for the sort of
thing yours wants to look like.

4. This although is
one of the pages
in the magazine's
is very blank and
there is a lot of
extra room that
could have been
filled.
The colours again fit in
throughout the whole
magazine but its very
plain and boring all
the same.
