Layouts



I liked the look of these layouts as designs that I could use for my double page spread or contents page. I liked them, because they were both very visual.

My Music Magazine

My music magazine is about indie culture, mostly indie music and fashion. It will appeal to my target audience, becuase my target audience are people who are part of or like indie culture. The Unique Selling Point of my magazine is that it will be mainly directed towards a female readership, whilst still be directed towards males. My house style is going to be fun and light, while still having an edge of darkness to it. The tone and register of my magazine is going to be relaxed with some slang, while still having a structured style.

NME Double Page Analysis

The colours used are white and black. These are contrasting colours so stand out and attract the audience into wanting to read the article, and buy the magazine. They use two big and bold pull quotes in the article. This is to attract the audience into wanting to read the magazine, and eventually buy it. The language used by the writer, fits in with the audience the magazine is appealing to. They are appealing to young teenagers to people in their early twenties, which words such as “cunt”. The main image is of a relaxed happy looking band. The layout of the article is set out in columns. This makes it easier for the audience to read the article. The drop cap shows the beginning of the article; it is also in the same font as the title, this creates good ‘house style’.
