Analyzing music magazine
       title blocks
The title block is bright and bold. The red intensifies and compliments the rock
music genre. The black and white are contrasting colors which makes the title
stand out even more. NME is the pneumonic form of ‘new musical express’
which is clearly visible.
The title block is very simplistic because only two colors are used, black and
white. However the backwards “A” and “R” make the title more attractive and
interesting. Without reading the magazine, it is evident that the genre is
rock/punk because of the bold font and capital letters.
The title block is bright red and appears to be slanted to make it more
appealing. The target audience is presumably male because red is
stereotypically associated with males and the title consists of two females
posing provocatively
The title block is plain and simple except for some of the letters being colored in
to increase interest and make it look colorful. Its hard to tell what genre this
magazine is aimed at, this is beneficial because it allows the viewer to come up
with their own conclusions and adds a sense of mystery
Potential Magazine
    title blocks
Chosen Magazine
   title block
After careful deliberation I have decided to pick the above title for my magazine for a
    number of reasons. The black and white combination is very simple yet very
    effective as they are two contrasting colours that are stereotypically associated
    with each other. My inspiration was the ‘RADAR’ logo. The font is modern which
    compliments the modern urban vibe of my magazine. The full stop makes it look
    more appealing and interesting as the reader wonders why the full stop is there
    and is tempted to purchase the magazine in order to find out. The disappearing R
    looks fascinating, thus increasing curiosity in the magazine.
