Clash front cover 2.

This is a complete contrast from the first of the layout, instead of a central image of a face it is a mid shot 2 shot, this is to show part of a band, I researched this magazine cover as I would like my magazine cover to be revolved around one more like this. I would like my models to be a long shot in the image though, and I would have to decide whether I would like to have my image in colour of in black and white as they are both as effective as each other.

This front cover is in colour and has a range of colours; overall there is more of blues and whites in this image. Even though it is in black and white it is still sticking to the idea of having some of the text highlighted, “Daft Punk” is colour in colours from the spectrum like a rainbow, this is effective as the colours are located in one place instead of all over the page to make it look messy and unprofessional. This is a good idea as it adds colour to the magazine in its own unique way. I would like to add this on my front cover but I would add this as the only colour and keep the rest as black and white.

There is not much text on this front cover, it advertises what is inside the magazine to grab the reader’s attention and drag them into reading it, also by not adding much text it persuades the readers to buy it and read on as they won’t be able to see the full amount of what is inside.If I carried this out on my own magazine I would make sure that the small amount of text I have on the outside is very interesting to grab the readers and drag them into reading on into the magazine.

This front cover has a very sharp look to it whereas the other had a messy chaotic look about it. This makes the appearance of the demographic look smart and tidy with a contrast to a hidden depth.This shown by the image, the use of masks on the band shows that they have a hidden personality that hasn’t been shown to their audience. I would not use this for my own cover I would rather have the rough messy look for my front cover using magazine cut outs for the title.
