Textual analysis of double page spread from Radar music mag

The magazine is clearly seen in the top left corner of the first page. The mast head is more on the right side page but roles onto the left this puts the head almost in the centre of the page making it the centre of attention and this will automatically draw the readers attention. There is the image covering the whole left side of the spread.

Half of the right page is taken up by the article on the band The Teenagers it also has a small image in the article related to the article the right hand side of the page has a list of bands that are similar to the band. The colour scheme of this magazine is works very well because the white shows up on the blue and the light blue and white shows up very well on the black background of the right side.

textual analysis

Textual analysis of atmosphere magazine

 The name of the magazine Atmosphere is written across the top of the page making it very clear. Having a subtitle under the main name of the magazine announcing an artist then having a picture of the artist mentioned underneath helps people know who they are. The colour scheme for this issue is purple and white I think that’s this works very well because purple provides a good background for the white to show up on. The fact that they give a free CD encourages people who would buy this magazine to buy it more just for the CD. It also has little side headings down both side mentioning other artist featured in this issue this makes people who are interested in these other artist want to buy the magazine so they can read about the artist.

Action Plan

This is for my media coursework for the music magazine project. The objective I have been given is to create a music magazine. In this objective I have to design a front cover, contents page and a double page spread. This piece of coursework will be enjoyable for me because I enjoy music.

10/1/11: Take pictures related to the magazine I’m going to design.

15/1/11: textual analysis of music magazines.

18/1/11: start to design drafts of my magazine cover, contents and double spread.
