Josh's Magazine Research

We have chosen to make a magaizine as part of our project.

In this 'NME' Magazine we can see the classic use of red, white and black which runs throughout the rock genre. The writing is bold, in capitals and contrasts with the dark background. The main subject is dressed in the stereotypical black leather and dark clothes, pictured playing a guitar, which although acoustic is slightly obscured by the headings to look at first look like an electric giutar which is more common for the rock genre. The white glow behind him suggests a gig or crowd and gives the subject a situation- something alien to most women's glamourous magazines. The centred writing is set at angles, this helps keep up the rock'n'roll image, making it different. The two smaller superimposed images are also set at angles and the blue picture of Pete Docterty contrasts well and sets off the blue. I think if Rhythm Nation stick to similar conventions in The Amber Herd's magazine (likely to be abbreviated to AH) we could create a very successful magazine cover.
