It examines the color schemes, images, text placement and overall layouts of magazines featuring artists like Adele, Lady Gaga, and Beyonce.

Contents page analysis
The document analyzes and compares the contents pages of two magazines - Q Magazine and NME.
[1] The Q Magazine contents page has a neat and uncluttered design with the masthead in the primary optical area and cover lines neatly placed, appealing to its target audience of older readers.
[2] In contrast, the NME contents page has a cluttered design with elements scattered everywhere, relating to its target demographic of teenagers.
[3] Both contents pages effectively apply design principles like the Rule of Thirds and Gutenberg Diagram to draw attention to key elements, while maintaining consistent house styles that appeal to their respective target audiences.
Paper Planning
This document outlines a plan for the cover and contents page of a music magazine. The cover will feature a centered image of Pixie Lott against a purple and white background. Additional elements like the masthead, date, and pricing will be in bright colors like yellow and pink to stand out. The contents page will continue the color scheme and use images and headings to preview the articles, including a double page feature interview of Pixie Lott with colored text to distinguish the questions from answers.
Task 2
The magazine uses a pink color scheme and images of boy bands to appeal to its young, female target audience. There is no single dominant image on the cover, focusing more on cover lines. Inside, article pages use pink banners and mastheads for branding and easy-to-read fonts with short sentences and many images. Advertisements blend in with the page layout and color scheme rather than standing out.
Part 7
The layout features a large dominant image taking up the entire double page spread of Bryan Forbes. The title "Bryan Forbes" is in large bold white text at the top. A small introductory blurb is placed under the title. Supporting images and quotes from Bryan Forbes and Sharon Tate are placed throughout the pages in smaller font. The photos have been manipulated with color and effects to match the style of Forbes' films from the 1960s.
Part 7
The layout features a large dominant image taking up the entire double page spread of a famous celebrity. The title of the article and name of the celebrity are featured prominently in white text above the image for maximum visibility. Smaller white text provides context about the topic and where to find the full article on the next page. Font sizes and styles are used strategically to guide the eye to the most important information while still providing relevant details in a visually appealing spread.
Billboard magazine
The masthead stands out against the baby pink background in a bold, clear font that overlaps the main image of Katy Perry, showing her importance in the issue. Colors inside the A and D of the masthead blend well and attract attention on shelves. The main image of Katy Perry wearing flowers and a black dress is relevant, with her colors blending with the background and title colors, conveying she has both a soft and darker side.
Assignment #13 Ancillary Research
The layout uses a large dominant animated graphic taking up the entire double page spread to depict the struggle between South Korea and Japan. The title is bold and draws the eye, with a short blurb below to provide context before the article on the next page. The author and illustrator names are prominently displayed in colors that match the animation. Organization of the information guides the eye to first read the title and blurb, then turn to the next page for the full article.

The layout uses a large animated graphic taking up the entire double page spread to depict the struggle between South Korea and Japan. The title is bold and centered at the top to be read first, followed by a short blurb. The author and illustrator names are prominently displayed in complementary colors to match the animation. Organization of the information guides the eye to first understand the graphic and then provides context through the short text pieces before turning the page.
Powerpoint on magazines
The magazine cover uses a limited color scheme of black, white and red. The main title "Kerrang" looks broken to represent the disorder of rock music. The band name "Biffy Clyro" is larger to draw attention. The lead singer is the main focus in the large central photo. Smaller photos at the bottom also follow the color scheme. The minimal text gives an idea of the magazine's contents without long descriptions.
