Comparison of two genres of music

House Magazine

MastheadThis is a very basic font with quite a chavy design to it to match its readers who like this style of music, drum and bass and house. Again it’s a bright and bold to catch the readers attention and show who the magazine was designed and created by so the readers would want to buy it because they know of them.

TitleThe title in this music is called “Best of British” and the font used for this suits the title because it is a very traditional font style which is a play on the magazine its ironic because the style of music isnt very traditional and linked in with the British theme.

House StyleThe house style of this magazine is plain and simple sticking to the three colours of the British flag: red, white and blue because the story is about British music and it shows this by using a very British bulldog and the colours and the traditional fonts.

Indie Mumford

MastheadThe masthead in this magazine is bright and bold here to catch the readers attention and brand the company that created the magazine. It links to the theme of the magazine for being creative and different from the rest.

HeadlineThe headline for this magazine is about Mumford and sons, a popular talented indie band who hit the nation like a storm becoming widely popular. The font of this headline suits the band perfectly being modern and down to earth because they love there fans and aren't in it for the money otherwise they would not have taken a break from the music industry because that would create lack of money.

House style The house style for this magazine and front cover is very modern using up to date bright colours that will be noticed like red and the classical black and white, whereas the background tends to vary.

Similarities • Blue, red and white house style in the text images and background.• Both have front cover images • Each magazine feature bar codes to price the magazines. • They both place the company logo in the top left hand corner of the magazine,

enlarging it and placing small text around the logo to make it stand out and make you focus on it.

• The DJ magazine and NME also use taglines under the main title telling you a bit about the story that might feature.

• Both magazine tell you a bit about what will be featured in the magazine inside, giving you a little insight into the stories.

Differences • One image features a British bull dog and the other is of humans, the band Mumford

and sons. • The dj magazine is more crowded and full on compared to the indie style NME

magazine which is more spaced out allowing you to focus on the mid shot image.• The reason why you don’t lose focus on the bulldog image is because it’s a close up

using bolder brighter colours than Mumford and sons. • The DJ magazine has a puff as well. • NME magazine feature more than one imagine of the cover of the magazine.
