Front cover: consolidating my research

Front cover 1 - How this Research has Influenced my Planning and Creativity 

• I like the style and font used in this magazine, I will use a variety of fonts such as sans and sans serif to appeal to a wider target audience and help it become funner and more engaging.
• I also like the rebellious atmosphere given from the red and black colour scheme. From this research I could break conventions of a classical music magazine and create a more rebellious theme, which would open up my magazine to a wider target audience and help attract a younger age of customers.

Front cover 2 - How this Research has Influenced my Planning and Creativity 

•  I really like the fonts and the colour scheme. It is very engaging and easy to read. This is a very good idea as in my magazine I will need to make my text as easy to read as possible.
•  I also like the position of the model and the prop that she has in her hand, when I design my main magazine, I will use this idea of a prop so that the image doesn't look as bland and boring.

Front cover 3 - How this Research has Influenced my Planning and Creativity 

• I really like the way the main title "Lady Gaga" is hidden behind the star as a type of identification, when designing my main magazine I could use this to help the ascetics and become more eye catching to the reader.
• I also really like the idea of the text "Move over Madonna..." as this will appeal to a younger audience. This is a very good idea, although I will not be using this technique as it does not suit the classical music magazine theme. The way the letters are text wrapped around the body is really interesting and unique. I will use text wrapping so that my magazine will make it easy for the reader to know exactly who the model is as the name fits around them in clear writing.
• I like the kerning and the way some spaces are huge and others are much closer between letters. I will be using this technique to develop my magazine as it will help separate text.

Front cover 4 - How this Research has Influenced my Planning and Creativity 

• I really like how the magazines background colours have help the model and text stand out. This technique will be used when designing my magazine as I want my magazine to be very engaging and eye catching. 
• I really like the way this magazine has designed its masthead and text on the front cover. 
• I also really like the way the articles are set out on the left hand side of the page. This aspect will be used in my final design as it provides a clear space of the front cover for the information about the articles on the magazine.
