The layout in this magazine is a more traditional format
compared to the other magazine. The use of 3 columns and the large
bleeding image that is inline with the centre fold replicates an
element of simplicity and minimalism. The identification logo is
also used at the bottom of the page to avoid any copyright issues.
I will ensure to also use my brand identity on my double page
spread to appeal to my target audience and ensure identity. The
bleeding image of the artist is at the bottom of the page. The edit
of the image is also with hazy tones and a slightly grainy effect
to emphasise the predominant shade of orange on his t-shirt and
hair colour. I will use a similar design to this in my double page
spread to ensure emphasis is one certain colour rather than a
variety ,which can inevitably look messy.The colour scheme used
here is very minimal but effective when wanting to highlight import
pieces of text etc. Also as well as the previous double page
spread, there is a variety of fonts to emphasise different
quotations and important names. However the font is more rounded
which may represent a more masculine target audience. Unknown

The image is bleeding off the page and crossing the usual centre
fold of a magazine. The black and white edit with short makeup and
shadowy tones suggest that the editor wants to attract an audience
of all ages . Due to the genre of the artists music being well
known . Therefore not appearing to be in a provocative way. The
makeup can also arguably be a spin of from the 60s since the
eyeliner shows a slight representation of the iconic supermodel
Twiggy.The typography used shows a variety of editing skills and
the aim to appeal to their target audience. The variety of fonts
are mostly very long and thin which shows an essence of success and
profession. However the colour scheme used is particularly limited.
I will attempt to recreated the variety of feminine fonts in my
music magazine as the images I am using are of girls. I think the
layout of this double page spread is quite obscure since the image
bleeds over the centre fold and the edge of the page. However it
looks professional and successful. The large I also at the start of
the article looks like it blends in well with the variety of fonts
and the vintage theme. However when I create my double page spread,
I will split my article into separate columns to replicate the
traditional, magazine style layout.
