music mag front cover research 2

For the second magazine I looked at a different type of magazine to the first, to gain a better understanding of what makes music magazines good and stand out. The second magazine I looked as was Top of the pops. The colours used on this magazine are pink, which is used for the masthead that indicates who the magazine belongs too and what type it is. Pink is used, as it is a bright colour that allows it to attract the audience’s eyes. Other colours such as purple have been used to indicate main features and events with the magazine that could attract viewer’s eyes. The use of images have been used well, due to the main picture which covers the front page, but also indicates what he main focus in this magazine is. Other images used are to match what the targeted audience tend to want to see (expectations).  The images consist of medium shot angles of famous celebrities used by the producers of the magazine. The graphics used and editing have not been used well due to images not being edited to match the background, such as the picture used upper left, which indicates the black background which stands out from the page.
