1. Textual Analysis Reflection
Fromlooking at different existing magazines I gathered many different ideas to
help my magazine production.
Font:My masthead needed to be bold but simplistic, the main body text I
wanted sans serif to give it a less formal look helping appeal to the audience. I
will also need a drop cap on my dps to help show the reader whereto start
reading. This can also act as a hook for the audience pulling them in.
Colours: I need a 3 colour palette which represents the indie genre. They need
to be quite neutral. Many magazines usered black and white as their main
colours so this could be a good colour scheme to start with.
Images:Main image needs to a medium close up which has been enlarged so it
takes up most of the front cover. For the contents page I will havean equal
text ratio to pictures, then the dps will have one main image preferably taking
up the majority of the 2 pages and a few secondary images possibly of
individual band members.
Sell Lines: makesurethat they don’t interfere with the main image
Puff : the puff needs to stand out engaging the audience’s attention. They also
can’t interfere with the main image.
