COMPARING TWO MUSIC MAGAZINES

Q magazine consist of basic black white and red colours. by using these colours it means that the image on the cover stands out on the main page. this is important because this makes the reader focus on the main image. this is key because it shows the band or an important person within music and this enable the reader to understand who and what the magazines main focus is going to be about. this magazine consists of the main conventions of a magazine this is because it includes the by-line, headline and other key aspects that all magazine include.

Like Q the magazine VIBE includes many of the same aspects. this shows that all of the magazines have similar content and colour schemes this is because many of the well known magazines include the colour theme of red white and black. this is good to use on this cover because the white shirt blends in with the background and this means that the image of the person that the magazine is focusing on come out and stand out in the whole cover.
