Comparitive Analysis of Front Covers

 



 

I have anaylsed two music magazine front covers one being VIBE and the other being Billboard. I then compared the features of both magazines, comparing the mastheads, cover picture, text and subheadings.

 

 

 

 

Wrapping Text To A Path

In todays lesson I learnt how to use the verticle text tool on Photoshop to wrap text to a path. Allowing the text to follow exactly where the path as been drawn.

 

 

Masthead Research

MASTHEAD RESEARCH

 

 

 

 

The logo of the NME magazine suggest how bold the magazine may be due to the colours of the logo which are; Red, Black and White. This logo can have a huge impact on the aundience becuase of how it stands out in capitals which also corodinates with the colours chosen. These colours can represent passion, peace and purity as it can be interpreted in many different ways. 

 

 

KERRANG! Expresses the genre of music through the logo which reflects the look it gives off that has a edgy and rough typeface. This automatciaclly gives the aundience a clue of what sort of magazine this may be as one of the fearures may be ROCK!



 

 The Mojo magazine logo  is simple but yet very relaxed. This is beacuse of how the letters are curved and not as bold as 'NME'. The slogan however still attracts the audiences attention because it is in the middle of the logo and is written in red.

 

 

 

 

 

Shout magazine logo differs from the other magazines this is because it gives a more feminine approach as it appeals to them more. The typography of this text suggest that the audience for this magazine may be for teenage girls because the letters are sharp and not curved. This fits in with the colours as it is multi-coloured and not plain black.

 

   



Top of the pops has a lower-case almost girly feel to the logo. This suggest that the magazine is targeted for those at a younger age. The typeface also suggest that this corresponds with the pop  genre.

Introduction

Introduction

Hello there, welcome to my lovely blog!

My name is Martina Conteh I currently came from the secondary school called 'The Urswick School' who recieved seven A-C's in my GCSE's. I am now attending the six form called 'LaSwap' and I am taking on the AS courses such as; Psycology, Sociology, Media and ICT.


I chose Media especially because I find it vey interesting knowing that it has a lot to offer in the industry. I'm studying this course mainly because I want my Media skills to develope and to learn a lot more on how the Media industry works as a whole. . I enjoy taking pictures, using photoshop CS6 to edit, create and change pictures in my own way.


I have a strong passion for music, mainly because it can be interpreted and expressed in many different ways depending on what mood your in (:

These are the two main songs that i enjoy listening to and are constantly on repeat.

'Trey Songz - Dive In'   &   'Frank Ocean - Pink Matter'

Typography

 

 

Typography

 

 

Typography can be expressed in many differerent ways. I chose five different fonts on 'Dafonts.com' because I think they will be most suitable for a school magzaine. Depending on how the fonts may be expressed many of these fonts can have different meanings.

In class I learnt that typography can be used in three main ways in Media which are; Serif, Sans Serif and Cursive.
