Front Cover Analysis
By analysing front covers of different magazines it has gave me an overall idea of the codes and conventions to make it look like a music magazine. I now know a music magazine needs a catchy heading, big image of either an artist or model and information on what will be included inside the magazine. By analysing different magazines it has helped me to produce a music magazine front cover of my own on Photoshop. I have looked at Vibe as a music magazine front cover as I think Vibe will be suitable for my genre. I want my magazine to have a similar style to the Vibe magazine and to do this I will need to have my masthead behind my main image as Vibe uses this kind of house style throughout different magazine front covers. I would need a mid shot image to be placed on my front cover, in front of my masthead as Vibe generally follows this idea throughout their front covers such as on the first front cover which I have analysed has a mid close up shot of his face which takes up the page. The masthead should be big, bold and eye catchy. The name of the artist featured in the image on my front cover should be placed next to or on top of the image. I need to follow the codes and conventions of the Vibe magazine for my magazine to resemble the Vibe magazine.
