This is the font and style of text i am thinking of putting on my magazine. I think it suits the style of magazine i have chosen and is a differnt style of font to magazines that already exist of the same genre. It will look different and gives the magazine a differnt style. I may put the cover stories in the same font to link it together.

Cover colour schemes

I like the colour scheme of this magazine as it shows the original MOD style of the target which is in the colours of the union Jack. This style shows that it is original English music that follows the MOD culture. The union jack coloured background is also shown in the text of the cover stories and also on the jacket of the main photo in the middle. The colours highlight the photo and make it stand out from  the rest of the images. The colours also make the headlines stand out from the rest of the text. The colours make all of the cover link together.

Cover picture analysis

This is the sort of size picture i am going to have on the front of my magazine cover, it fills most of the cover page and is clearly the main feature of the magazine and that is the idea i want my cover to show. It also shows a similar colour scheme of black and white which is the colour scheme i have chose for my magazine. There is also an added colour which in this magazine is red. I am going to put the effect of a navy blue to act as the added colour just to make the text stand out from the rest of the cover. I also like how the cover is not too over crowded and there is space in between the cover lines. This makes it easier on the eye as the reader will be prepared to look at the few cover lines.

I like this photo as it symbloises the indie music culture as the target sign is a well recognised symbol that links back to this genre of music. I also like the colour schemes as the blue and white suit the colours of my magazine, and the picture being in black and white makes it stand. I would like to re creae this image and put it on my contents page as it suits the idea of the magazine i am creating.
