My Music Magazine Analysis

This is my final product of the music magazine front cover.
The girl in the visual,Sky Mulvey, is a student and friend who was happy to be the muse.

The effect of the pose can be taken in different views. I, myself see it is a girl laughing, however when I asked around for criticism, people thought the girl was:

• crying
• laughing
• embarassed 

Emotionally speaking, a picture will tell us what we want to see. What we feel. So for many people, the photo will mean different things which then opens up the audience of readers further.

The mast head has been rotated 90 degrees to make it vertical,reading down. I done this because it differentiates from other magazines and looks bolder. the colours that fill in the text are different from the offical BILLBOARD logo. The colours also bring out different moods depending on which colour you focus most on. For example, the red can make a danger of love vibe, or the yellow could be happiness and innocence.

I have used different types of text for each line. The 2015 is faded and small, that is because it isn't the main attention. 'Sky Mulvey' is is curved fluorescent font to represent the feature and femininity of the subject. Lastly, 'Woman of the year' is straight capital font to emphasise the importance of the subject title.

The whole theme is laid back, calm and giving off a collected vibe. The reason for this is because the topic is Woman Of The Year, and the tidiness gives an evidence feel of worth.

However, to improve I would try to experiment with colours a lot more, and maybe add more text, working with the two thirds. I could possible use a photo with Sky's faces showing rather than being hidden.
