Research In To Magazine Cover



Above is a screen shot of the magazine covers I looked through for my research for the ancillary task.As you can see all of the examples of rap magazine covers, all have very bold colours of the background with very large striking pictures of the featuring celebrities stretched across the page, we plan to emulate this using the pictures of our photo shoot. Also I've noted they all have bar codes, ad the price and date somewhere in one of the bottom corners and the titles seem to be. All the magazines I have researched in to so far, have been rap magazines and this is the genre of magazine I would like to go for as although the song might not be perceived as rap that much, the images we have taken for the ancillary tasks we have one where we are in Adidas and string vests so I think this would be conforming to the similar options above. Also the head lines in these all mention the music artists name and something interesting after it so that is something for us to take in to mind as we make ours we could put other names on the front cover as advertising to make people want to read on to the magazine.


The album cover above shows a typical rap mag cover, it has a powerful black background and then a theme of two colours from the font, which I think is something i will conform to, but maybe more girly colours and probably pink as it will match the picture because of the colour clothes we are wearing. The font is consistent throughout accept for some places where it is different colours where the titles and subtitles are relevant and some titles are in italics.


I uploaded the above picture as it will hopefully be similar as it features two girls on the front cover like ours will, with a plain background and the picture of us being the focal point and the headlines around.
