Genres Of Magazines R'n'B



I will now research the genre of R'n'B magazines, I think I will use the magazine 'VIBE' to help me with my research as I like the artists that are in the magazine and think it will be a good inspiration for me, as it is a more modern and unique type of music magazine.

                                                            
I like the image on this magazine as 'Janet Jacksons' face expressions really express how she is feeling. Also, the way she is posing shows shes confident. The only thing that I don't like in this image is the fact the camera in her hand blends in with her hair so you cant really see the outline of it. I like how there is a simple colour scheme.  

I think this magazine is really simple but the image used makes it look really effective, I like how the image is black and white as it really stands out. I think there could be a little more information around the side of the cover as in some places it looks a bit bare.

   
I think this front cover is really eye-catching, I think the effect they have used on the magazine makes it looks really unique. The expression on 'Keyshias' face makes the magazine look really professional and different. The way she has direct eye contact with the reader draws you into the magazine. I like how there is a simple colour scheme but it still looks stylish and modern.

After researching R'n'B magazines I have chosen to use one main image to focus on and little bits of information on the front cover. I don't want my magazine to look to busy so I have decided I am just going to put information I need on the front cover so people are aware of what they will be buying.



Genres Of Magazines 'POP'

  

I am going to look at the music genre 'pop', I think I will like this genre as most of the artists I listen to are pop artists. I am going to look at a range of pop magazines and see what I like and don't like about them to give me inspiration for my music magazine. Also it will help me decide what I want and don't want to use for my final design such as different types of splashes, mastheads subheadings and images.

                                                             

                                                 
I think the front cover of this magazine is really effective. The way Madonnas face has been covered up is really clever because she will still be recongnised even if you cant see her whole face. I think the colour scheme is good as its professional but still stands out to the reader. I like how the splash has been put over what it is refering to. I like how there is only one main image used so it doesnt look to busy.







 

I like the colour scheme for this magazine as there are unisex colours used, such as pink and blue. The images used will really appeal to a younger target audience as Zac Effron is very popular for his image. I think there are to many images on this front cover and it looks a little to busy. I think this magazine will appeal more to girls because it is mostly based on the movie high school musicals.

I like the front cover of this magazine as the focus is on one main image. I like this image as there face expressions are very strong and you can tell how they are feeling. I like the simple colour scheme down the side of the magazine, although I do think there is to much things going on through the main image.

I like the front cover of this magazine as it is simple. The way there is a simple colour scheme makes the cover look professional. I like the way the splash goes under who its actually refering to. I think the medium long shot looks effective as the things lady gaga is wearing are really unique and quirky. I think her face expression draws you into the magazine because of the direct eye contact. I also like how there is only one main image used, this makes the cover look very professional and doesnt look as busy as the other magazines I have analysed.

Now I have done some research on pop magazines I think I will use one main image on my music magazine, I think it looks more professional and simple. Also, I can use more writing on my front cover to make sure I have all the information I need on there without it looking to busy. I am still not to sure what genre of music I will be using so I am going to research more genres of music such as R'n'B and indie.

Research Of Camera Angles

I am going to start researching different types of camera angles, such as: close ups, extreme close ups, long shots and medium shots. This will then help me decide what kind of camera shot I would like to use in my final magazine design.


                                                                                                                                                     
This picture is a long shot, I think the image is relevant for this type of magazine as its about sports and the image has a man playing sports. This is also relevant as he is in a football kit so the long shot shows him playing a sport. I think this camera shot is really effective as it shows him in action. I also like how it looks off guard with his face expressions.
 


This magazine has a medium long shot, It is relevant to the magazine as its called 'glamour' and the lady on the front is very glamorous and girly. This shot could also be used to show her nice figure, and to be an idol for other girls. I like how they have used this shot as it shows style and her face expressions show she is happy and very confident by the way she is standing.



This magazine has used a medium close up, this could be to catch the readers eyes. The way he has direct eye contact with the reader draws you in to the magazine. I think this medium close up is good as the colour of his jacket goes with the masthead. I think the image is relevant for the magazine as he is a famous singer, and will be recognised by the readers.



Now I have done some research on camera angles I think I have more of an idea of what I will use in mine, looking at music magazine most of the images are long shots or medium close up shots therefore I am going to use a medium close up. This is because I think its more relevant for the theme music, and also I think it will draw the reader in to my magazine.
