6. One of the main strengths of this magazine is the masthead on
the front cover it red and stands out from the white
background and the black and white image,, how she has
displayed the masthead behind the image of the singer in a
different colour and font is conventional for this genre
alternative music magazine.
The picture of Violet south is in black and white which is not
conventional for the front cover of this genre of magazine
however it creates a unique edge to this magazine also the eye
contact from the singer creates a relationship with the reader
which could sell the magazine.

7. The use of blue text in a different font situated around the sides of the picture
connotes the importance of the singer due to everything being placed around it.
The contents page has its pictures at the bottom of the page with the main
picture of Violet south being faded behind the text on the contents page this is
not conventional for an indie magazine however it creates a unique look for
this page.
The use of coloured images at the bottom of the page scattered about creates a
laid back approach which gives the reader an idea of what sort of material to
find within the magazine. The double page spread title Violet south is the same
font and colour as the title on the front cover this creates a scheme for the
writing about the singer.
The pictures are scattered around the page along with the writing around it
there is no structure this is not conventional for this genre of magazine
however it fits in with the rest of the magazine and its unique approach USP to
displaying images and text in a layback format almost like a scrap-book. For
the titles she has used bold font to try and give the feeling of less text to read on
the page, it also draws you into the article.

8. Although this magazine has a different approach to this genre of music
magazine I feel that there is a real lack of structure, on the front cover the
writing dominates the page which makes the magazine look boring and it
makes the reader overlook the main feature which should be the picture of the
singer due to it being an exclusive on her.
A black and white image is not conventional for a front cover of this genre of
magazine and I will not be using it for my print. The magazine has no clear
fonts that are used throughout which isn’t conventional for an indie magazine,
there should be clear texts and fonts throughout the magazine to create
structure.
The faded image of the singer on the contents page doesn’t work as it should be
one of the main features of the magazine therefore should stand out on the
page and once again the writing dominates the page, which could put the
reader off.

9. I think there is too much information within the magazine just
from looking at the contents page they should have kept it more
towards the exclusive from the singer and exploited it more to try
and excite the reader.
On the double page spread there is no structure the images are
scattered around the page it looks like she has put them where
they can fit, the age is crowded and dominated by text again
which doesn’t capture the attention of the target audience of this
magazine which would be youths as it is an indie music
magazine.
There is only two colours of text on this page which is black and
red for the title, which isn’t conventional for this genre of
magazine as it doesn’t stick to any colour scheme. The images on
the right hand page are square with a harsh edge and feel to fixed
they don’t fade into the page like the rest of the images.

10. After analysing Hannah's magazine I have found some
new ideas for my magazine which I will include within
my narrative frame-work ideas and see what my focus
group think. To make sure that my print is successful I
need to make sure I avoid over crowding he pages of
my magazine and dominating it with text, as for my
genre of magazine it has been proven that the target
audience prefer images to text as the audience is youths.
From looking at the magazine it has made me confident
to carry out my research and that it is vital to stick to
conventions of my chosen genre, as it sells a magazine.
Also it is crucial for me to create a key colour scheme
for my magazine as it looks professional and creates
structure for the reader.
