annaylis of magazines

..


this is the first dance magazine I will look at. I like the fact the title is really big and bold it stands out and you know exactly what you are reading. I really like the layout of the page it's simplicity stands out and makes it unique. the use of colours is really affective they have selected a few and stuck with it throughout. the picture on the front identifys what this magazine main feature is and people will pick it up if they reconise them. I really like how they have listed the other headings it makes the magazine less complecated. this magazine is particually aimed at boys as they have the semi-naked women on the front, its also aimed at the people who enjoy lots of partying and heavy drinking, and like it says people who like Ibiza. I really think this magazine is deffinatly a seasonal thing as it wouldnt really appeal to people in the winter as it's cold.

this is the second magazine cover I will look at this is my favourite of the two i love the used of the colours and all the funky shapes used. the sub headings really stand out from the main title 'DJ'. The layout on this page is alot to take in and i think thats why I like it shows the magazine has a lot to feature and possilby lots of readers. the image used shows alot in the music intself that it is noisy and really fun to listen to. another thing about this I like is by spreading out the sub heading it draws you around the whole page, most people when reading magazines will only read the bits you are interested in. This front cover also is advertising in a way by featuring some of the band names on the front 'Pryda, Leger and Axer'. I feel this front cover is really inviting and makes you want to open to magazine and read more.








this is the contents page I will write about, the first thing you notice that i really like is the smiley faces this shows character to the magazine and fun. the layout is really simple and is sectioned into blocks so you can skip to the pages you really want to read. I like how basic they have kept the colours to much will make it out of control and you wouldnt know where to look. I think they have used far to much text on the contents, the contents is the page where you want to read less and know the basic information about the articles. they have chosen pictures that will appeal to the audience and also gives a brief understanding of what the articles are going to be about. I really get the impression they have tried to invite you in and be friedly but because there is so much to read about I think it slightly puts you off.





I wasn't to sure if this was taken from a dance magazine but as I couldn't find anything I thought i would write about this instead. I think the first thing you notice in this article is the pictures they really stand out and show you all about the band. I like the fact the text is on the outside next to the images as i think the main interest are the images. the title and subheading really stand out the font used is clearly understanable and the blue contrasts with the white background. the layout of this page is really simple which is good and if there is alot going on in the magazine people tend to not know where to look. I really like how they have really got personal with the band and they have made it really friendly and tried to invite you in to getting to know the band
