From the beginning of my plans I knew that 'The wolves' would be featuring in my magazine. I decided to use the two main singers as it would allow space on the magazine, for other flashes, subheading and titles, and wouldnt look so over crowded.
Scott Aldridge and Adam Skinner work well as they have the right look and interests for the magazine genre. Their clothes and choice of style also indicate there hardcore punk interests and work.
Their attitudes will also speak out to the teenage audience that i aiming for as they aren't the people to take themselves too seriously, and create a fun 'banter-filled' outlook.
The font, I found from Photoshop as an origional text called 'myraid pro' this creates a relaxed but bold feel for the genre . The reasons for naming my magazine 'REVERSE' is because as its aimed at students and not the educational and 'boring' side of life its aimed at their invidual interests and it's the opposite to the everyday teenage life.
The font then plays onto the image of the boys, the reason for being over top is so it stands out again, as the boys take up most of the room. The colours used work well together and aren't too dull and still keep in within the lines of the genre.
The subheadings of introducing the 'WOLVES' catch the attention of any possible reader and makes it clear who the main focus of this magazine will be in this issue. The bording around it also helps the words to stand out above the picture and doesn't clash with the different colours of the image.
The flashes and extra are also to include more information for the reader, once again the images indicate a punk-y feel to the magazine and fit in with the theme.


I think the photography has been framed well, as you can clearly see who the magazine is about. It also suits the genre that is being targeted. I also like how the R in the masthead has been reversed giving it more of an edge. I think the only negative i can say is to incorporate the other images on the front cover in a better way, somehow.

ReplyDeleteI think the image draws you in and makes you want to find out more. I like how you have reversed the R on the masthead.
