Magazine Overviews


NME
I like this magazine because it has a good house style but it also like the way of having the big picture of the chosen artist in the page and having those colours which are carried on across the pages (red) makes it flow.  I don’t particularly like the fact that parts of it look like a newspaper, and I would personally change this. 

Uncut
I like uncut because it looks nice but I think the front cover is a bit busy and has too many colours which almost make the magazine look childish. Because of this look I want to make sure that I make my magazine cover quite simple with colour on the front because I want mine to look more of a teen audience, an audience which is into the rock music. The thing I like from this magazine is the double page spread it looks really nice and is just appealing to the eye by using band colours and good photos. 


Q
I like the Q as it is a nice and clear layout and has a good layout which is reader friendly. The house style is consistent and I believe it looks professional and well thought out.

From this magazine I want to take away the use of a retro look with the letters and house style, I think this is specifically nice because it goes well with my genre of being a rock magazine.

  1. Some basic evaluation here of the magazines, expand the reasons why things make you feel a certain way.

    You say - I like uncut because it looks nice but I think the front cover is a bit busy and has too many colours which almost make the magazine look childish.

    Amend it - This sounds a little bit vague as you don't really pick out the key features of it. Why is it nice? Why is it childish?
