Research and analysis of music magazine pages

Here's my analysis of 2 front covers-

The key learning points about front covers are the 'sweetspot' which is commonly where they key coverline is placed so that we as readers are drawn in. Also how important the colour scheme is so that the text is clear and the magazine looks good on the eye, using a colour of the image and using that colour in the texts can be effective.

Heres my analysis of 2 contents pages-

The key learning points about contents pages are the brand identity, from the front cover there is a continued theme and colour scheme. Page layout is important because even if it is going to be an unusual layout it is good to keep to the grid formation so it is structured and easing to read.


Heres my analysis of a double page spread-

The key learning points about double page spreads for me would be that it is important to break up the text for example like using a side bar which is still relevant but different to the main text. Also about using a headline which will then anchor the image this helps the read understand what the page is going to be about.
