When doing my research, I ensured that I annotated a variety of magazine genre conventions so that I had a broad understanding on what would be consisted in the genre and what the audience expect to read.
NME is associated with a variety of different music genres. Even though I wish to make my music magazine specific to its genre, I feel that NME is a good source to analyse as it develops my understanding on the areas I should include in my magazine for my audience. Furthermore, the front cover shows a good range of magazine font page concepts.
This contents page from the music magazine "Q" presents clearly on the kind of layout I wish to include in my music magazine. Specifically, I like how they have sectioned areas of the magazine in a column alongside with a large picture focusing on the main story.
This double page spread uses pull quotes which I find effective towards the readers as the main statements from the interview hock them in to read. As well as this, I like how the artist have a picture on the right hand side of the page with another quotation from the interview: I will highly consider this. Even though the situating of pictures and text is good, I find that there is limited colour which is bland and unappealing for the audience. Thus, I am going to have more of a variety of colours relating to my front page.
