Comparison Two

Originally I wanted to put the name behind the head of my model like a lot of magazines do but it turned out to be quite difficult and it would have covered too much of the title. I also think for my magazine the title is very important whereas ‘Kerrang!’ is very well known to the point where people don’t even need to see the name to know what magazine it is, it’s very distinguishable.

This magazine is actually almost the exact opposite side, the extra information or ‘sell lines’ are on the right side, the band name is slanted in the opposite direction, the bar code of in the left corner and the three images are on the right side. I do think this works as it still looks structured and the image is central like mine. Although the three images in the corner are straight, although the two side ones slightly point inwards. I did try this but because my images were different shapes it didn’t work as well, I thought that because my magazine was quite organised it needed something that looked a bit messy.

I also tried putting certain writing in bold coloured boxes to make them stand out more but because my magazine is more subtle with paler colours due to me trying to make it look slightly older or more vintage the bold colours don’t work and it worked better with no boxes.
