Analysing Front Cover Images

To make my magazine look as professional as possible I looked at other magazines and studied how they portrayed their genre. For example Q magazine features dark colours to portray the image of serious rock music. The images that arise on this and other magazines with this genre tend to have aggressive person who rebels against the rules of society. They seem very intimidating and have a closed personality where they don’t want to conform to the music that is popular during a certain era. Whereas Mixmag has more bright, vivid and stunning colours to represent their image of fun dance music. The images that regularly occur are carefree and let the readers of this magazine aware that the most important past time for its readers are parties and relaxing. I have decided along with my brainstorm that because my chosen genre is pop the colours need to be luminous and vibrant as pop music is happy. My cover star and feature images need to be happy and open. The person needs to come across as friendly so the readers can feel connected to her and be able to relate in some way to her life.
