Today I looked at different music magazine front covers. I analysed the font cover pointing out the main aspects and the differnt effects on teh reader. This will help me with the different effects to use when creating my own front cover. I looked at differnt genres of magazine such as NME and Kerrang.

The main headline is “the music issue NMEs 10 tips for 2009. This is on a yellow background strip and uses red and black colour text which stands out, also uses the colour scheme.

The overall colour for the magazine is white, red, yellow and black.

The range of articles inside the magazine will include the different bands/singers of the front cover.
