Cd cover research

Magazine 3

This is a bridal magazine which would appeal to woment wanting to get married. On the front cover it has a women in a wedding dress which is a nice image. The font is quite simple but elegant. Also it has a simple layout so the focus is just on the women in the wedding dress. To see the whole magazine click here. http://issuu.com/engaged/docs/issue34

College Magazine 2

This is the magazine of South Caralina honours college, It has quite a colourful masthead and it stands out quite well. It's easy to tell it's a college magazine as it has the schools logo on it and students in the foreground. It dopesn't have what is in the magazine on the front so it doesn't look as appealing.

College magazine 1

This magazine could appeal to the students as it has students that they could look up to on the cover. It has a simple background and simple white writing. Although the layout could be improved as it is a bit confusing. But it does show the wide range of things that are available to do at the college. The college name isn't very imaginative.

Masthead for magazine

I chose this font from a website because i thought it had quite a young feel to it, also it is easy to read. It has city college at the top so it can't be confused with any other magazine. I chose the colour black because it stands out against the white background and it doesn't rule out any genders.(Both boys and girls)

Magazine Research2.

This is a magazine about motor sports, it has a picture of a man in the full clothing of a motor bike rider, its a meduim shot of his body. Its also in black and white which gives it a dramatic effect. The content of the magazine is mainly pictures of motorbikes and some pictures of the clothing. The text of the magazine is quite simple but bold. It is aimed at people with bikes or those who have an intrest in them. Could be men that use bikes more but there are some females in this magazine.

Magazine Research.

The design of the magazine is quite simple just one model on the front page. It covers quite a lot of the title but you can still read it. Its quite clear it's a fashion magazine, the model on the front is very stylish. As there is a plain background the focus is on the models clothes.
The content of the magazine is mostly pictures of models in different clothes, at the start of the magazine there isn't much text. But as it gets on there are more articles. It would appeal to more younger generations (like teenagers, early twenties) as most of what is in there wouldn't apeal to older people also there is smaller writing. Mainly it is aimed at girls who are intrested in fashion but boys who could be intrested to. The design is different on each page so it is unconventional layout. As most magazines have a balance of images and texts this is mainly picture based.

Cd Back cover

This is the back cover of my cd. It has a picture of the band and all their songs. I chose to make the font of the text to be blurred to make it seem like the music is loud. I chose quite dark colours against the lighter background. Also to make the text stand out i blurred the band in the background.

Cd Front Cover.


The webbers is an indie band. Which consist of 4 members and play punk-rock type genre of music. Their album name is without love. I used a older style for the bands name, it looka abit worn. To emphasis the noise i blurred the speakers to make it look like their playing loud music. The band in the foreground stand out. Then underneath the album name is quite bold. The background is quite a natural colour( boy's colour). But it also could apeal to girls.
