Evaluation of Bhangra Music Magazine Front Cover

With the front cover of my magazine I had used existing Bhangra music magazine covers to give me an idea of what I need to consider on mine when I create it. The magazine that I used was Brit-Asian, this is a magazine which consists of magazine British and Asian artist interviews and life stories about their life and what they have been doing and what they plan to do in the future.

With my front cover I wanted to keep it simple and not too crowed with too much information, having too much information can put my intend audience (16-21 year old girls) off from reading the magazine as it would like unattractive to purchase. I kept the information on the cover minimal as possible and used a large image with two models. Using a large image draws quick attention to the audience, I also made the title of the magazine red, the colour red is eye catchy and is a sign of danger, this would attract the audience and may consider buying it.

I used a range of different fonts on my front cover, by using different font types had enabled my cover to look like an actual music magazine, all the colours that I used on my cover are all in similar tones; the blue I made the models wear bring attention to the page as the background of the image is a brown/black colour.

The layout of the page is very similar to the Brit Asian Magazine I evaluated previously; I intended to add a Punjabi touch by making the first letter of each word on my title a different font. By using a unique font makes the page look more effective.

How has this research influenced my editorial decisions?

By looking at the front covers, double page spreads and the content pages; I have come to the decision that I will be creating a Bhangra magazine, the reason why I chose this genre is because this genre is well known in the Asian community and they would like to provided with more information about Bhangra. However by looking at all of these pages the content page is the most important of the magazine as this gives the reader snippets of what’s inside the magazine. This means that I would have to ensure my content page is visually appealing as well as containing relevant information for the reader. I intent to use all the artists I am going to be including on my front cover and my double page spread as the content page contains most of the vital information. On my content page I may include a quote from my interview with my chosen artist.
