3) People Country Special front cover - Blake Shelton

The placement of the picture is quite ironic as the main focus is obviously about him. The fact that the image is placed directly in the centre of the magazine is also quite noticeable and important due to the fact that he must be the most talked about throughout this magazine. The placement of the other images are also quite ironic as they are nearly lined up with the bigger image. This is helping the readers get a nice and clear guide at what they are reading.
For my music magazine, i am going to be including multiple images to get the same idea across just like this magazine has. Also, the way that the images are placed in specific shapes also adjusts to the way we see them. I also like the way that the title of the article is placed at the bottom on the magazine, meaning that's where the eye's are most likely to go last and gives out the most information.
There is a specific theme of colour that runs through the magazine and is also quite important in terms of the contents page and the double page spread as they should include the main colour. As the main colours in this magazine are red, yellow and black, this theme should run throughout the whole magazine to colour co-ordinate the whole thing. As the background colour is white, it really makes the colour of the title stand out more. 
I really like the colour scheme used for this magazine as i think that they go well together. Having the coloured text spread out so that it goes red, black, red and then yellow makes it look more effective. However, by only having 3 pieces of text that are in one specific colour, yellow, is making it more eye catching and appealing as it is where the eye is most likely to go when looking at the magazine. 
The images used are a very important aspect of the magazine as it's all about what people like and the types of music people listen to. The type of magazine all depends on who is on the front cover, so it need sot be genre specific. In order to do this, a magazine that is a Country genre, needs to have a country artist on front, so Blake Shelton for example. The choice of images are also targeting those of a different audience making more people buy the magazine. Having people like Jake Owen on the front cover is making the news be more aware. 
The images i choose for my magazine front cover is an important choice as i need to be able to target those within my target audience but i also need to be able to make it presentable and people would need to read it. Also the images i choose need to be colourful so that they would be eye catchy. On the other hand, i would need to place the images in a specific order as then it would look well co-ordinated. The images i would need are single artists who are promoting tickets for their shows and other pictures like that.
