The document discusses the design elements the author wants to incorporate in their music magazine. They like the plain background and color scheme of one magazine as it makes the writing and artists stand out while looking sophisticated. Multiple magazines influence the author's design choices, including using simple colors, a music chart, different camera angles of artists from varied genres, and images linked to page numbers. The author's magazine will have an interview format in a feminine yet mature color, with the artist image on the right and their name in a different color.

1. My Magazine will be based around the layout of this magazine
but the colours vary. The plain background makes the artists
and writing stand out more which are the most important
parts. The colour scheme looks sophisticated and modern
which is how I would like mine to look so it appeals to my
target audience. There is also not a lot of detail or writing but
still grabs your attention, the use of it not being cluttered also
makes it appealing and connotes with a more mature
audience.

My magazine will be influenced by the
magazines above. Each magazine brings a
different elements which I like and will
appeal to the target audience. I like the use
of simple colours, and by having a music
chart since the magazine if for music. I also
like the use of having different camera
angles and different artists from other
genres so It will appeal to a wider range of
audiences. I like the colour schemes and the
use of pictures with the page numbers so it
grabs their attention wanting them to turn
that page. They are eye grabbing without
being too bright and they are easy to
navigate your way around.

The writing will be in black
so it stands out against the
background. The
background is a feminine
colour and connotes to
femininity but also looks
mature. It is in an interview
format since this is what
appeals to my target
audience, the image is on
the right as it is
conventional to be placed
here, the artists name is in
a different colour so it
stands out and the
masthead is eye catching
and draws them in as it
uses intriguing language.
The images above are a
guideline as well.
