Findings Of Research

Magazine Cover 1:

Quote 1:
“The use of the colour, the use of the black, white and red…tie the whole magazine together.”

Quote 2:
“Normally, you see on every magazine, the model looking towards the camera, but the gaze is towards the side which is different.”


The magazine is distinctive from the rest in particular due to the layout and colour scheme of the magazine. The three colours were shown to really work well together and gain attention as it brought the magazine cover together. The model was dressed quite simply which complimented the colour scheme well. The gaze was different from the stereotypical “angle of gaze” and caught the attention of the reader.However, the text crowded around the artist, is slightly too much.


Magazine Cover 2:

Quote 1:
“The cracks between each member of the group, it intrigues me as to why the cracks are featured there”

Quote 2:
“Different angle of shots, the shots are quite attractive and different”

Quote 3:
“Better to follow the motto…less is more”


The magazine features the front man of the band in various poses and different angles of shots which are diverse. It suggests there are various sides to the artist, which the reader may get to discover within the contents of the magazine. The layout of the pictures with the cracks, attracts attention as the reader may question why the cracks are placed the and whether there is a reason behind it. The font of the band name is bold, however there are more than three colours and detracts the attention.

Magazine Cover 3:

Quote 1:
“The long-shot is rare and very different”

Quote 2:
“It’s simple, and not crowded with text”

Quote 3:
“The background is different, it looks more natural rather than in a studio”


The long shot of the band is unique as it is very uncommon. The layout of the magazine is very simple, as there is not much text due to the group shot, which would have made it difficult to place the text. Due to the simplicity of the magazine, it draws the reader’s attention as to what may be in the content of the magazine.
