Magazine Genres

Rock

The use of colours on this magazine are quite dark and gloomy colours which promotes the rock theme to the magazine. The use of photography and clothimg of the model is very stereotypical of the rock genre where there wearing leather jackets and have tatoos and dark black hair. I think that the rock magazine is more rough looking and also it's messy which I think looks a bit too overcrowded and in your face which I don't think looks too good. I don't like the colour uses because the yellow clashes with the orange so I think that they should have used a better colour that wouldn't clash as much.

 
Indy

The use of colours on the magazine are really good because they are eye-catching colours, however I don't like the effect of having two people on the cover as it makes it look as if too much is going on and a bit in your face. The use of having well known Indy music artists means people will look at the magazine more and it makes it more visual.I think that the magazine is a bit in your face and I don't like the use of the having more than one person on the cover as it looks a bit tacky. I like that the use of blue and red on the cover are used on the clothing of the magazine colours which I think looks effective.

Hip Hop

This Hip Hop magazine is very eye catching as it has a well known hip hop singer on the cover so it catches the audiences attention because they think there might be an article in the magazine containing information about the singer, so want to buy the magazine.  The use of the little amount of colours, black and pink make the magazine stand out and make it look professional and also it targets a girly audience which is good because more girls read magazines than boys. The glimse of pink in the outfit makes the pink stand out even more and also the use of different font styles is eye catching. I think hip hop would be a good magazine to do because it is music I can relate to and music that most people listen to so targets a mass audience.

R&B

This R&B magazine is aimed at the male gender and features Lil Wayne which is a famous rapper. The use of blue, white, yellow and orange works well together because you don't have too much going on in the background which works well so i will use only a little amount of colour on my front page as it looks more professional. I really like the bold title as it is very rememberable which looks good.










Pop

This pop magazine is aimed at females and we can tell by the use of colours, the pink, black and yellow. The use of Katy Perry makes the target audience want to buy the magazine. The light is in front of her making her look more glowing and the shadow is behind her.I love the girly colours used and the simple amount of writing which makes the magazine look more professional and simple which puts more focus on the picture, so the picture needs to be more extravagant as it will be the focus point.
