front cover draft 1

Analysis- The title Rock N' Roll is put as a long and bold title too show the audience that this is the focal point of the magazine. The black background of the front cover is there too create a meaning of the magazine being very mysterious and hiding multiple articles that are interesting and powerful articles. This also links with the image of the singer 'Iggy Pop' as it's also made him look mysterious and as if he is hiding something in his article that is either dark or powerful towards the reader.The colour yellow is used for both 'Arctic monkeys touring UK!!!' and 'The Fray talk new music' are articles that have a happy side which links with the colour yellow as yellow is a happy colour which links with the sun and sunshine. It's also seen as a positive colour which is what I want the reader too feel when reading the articles, a positive and happy vibe. The colour red is used for the main cover-line of 'Iggy Pop: Time on tour was mental'. Red is a colour that often signifies intense emotions which is what happens in this article meaning it links with the the image of something mysterious happening on tour. The quote 'time on tour was mental' is used as a cliffhanger which makes the reader want to find out what mental things happened on tour. The target audience for this magazine is both sexes from the age of 18 and over. The word mental often con notates things such as partying, craziness, wild and unpredictable which the reader will want too read if they are attracted or similar to those words.The image if of an eye line shot, with a close up of his face. The direct gaze towards the reader helps build a personal bond and feel much closer too the singer as he is giving you eye contact. I have used the singer Iggy Pop as I see him as a person who resembles Rock perfectly. The reason I think this is because he is wild, out of control, unique and experienced making him an iconic rock-star. 

Reflection- Personally I am very happy with how I have started off with the front cover but I believe there are still a through adjustments that need too be done.
