Research for my music magazine

I have looked at some magazines in which I would like the front cover of my music magazine to look like.

I liked the look of the magazine because the picture is just of Taylor Swift and it is still attracting. The picture is in the middle of the page and stands out. I also like the writing as it is not bright but the colour scheme is just red black and white, and still stands out against the page. The front cover does not look boring but yet has a simple picture and lay out.

I liked the look of this magazine front cover because the band are in an outside area (Where I would like my band to be) with their outfits fitting the scene they are in. Yet again there is only one picture on the page and if there were other pictures I do not think the page would look as good. I like the theme to the page as it is a kind of Texas cowboy theme as they are in a dessert scene dressed in cowboy clothes. This kind of theme gives fun to the page and therefore attracts an audience.

This magazine stood out to me because the picture on the magazine was edited to be in black and white whereas unlike the other magazines there is no colourtheme to the words but it is the other way round. With the words having all the colour and the picture having none. This to me gives it an 60's/70's type of feel to it.

 This magazine attracted me because unlike the other it has a main picture and small ones around it. I was hoping to put small pictures around my front cover as well as a main one. I really like the way the band look like they are not pulling serious poses but are having fun, and the way there is a lot of colour to it.
