Magazine Mock- up 5


The masthead of this magazine is ‘classic’. However this album has nothing to do with the genre classic, instead the name classic gives a hint that this magazine is about the biggest hits, coming from old to new artists such as Michael Jackson and Ed shereen. This magazine has a wide range of genre, from rock to pop. The mast head is white. The main image is of a lady looking like a hippy/rock chick but in a modern style. The background captures a street, bringing an urban theme. The dateline is under the masthead and the barcode is on the bottom right. There are three cover lines and the main one is about the artist in the image.

The masthead is a serif font, white and black. It’s quite simple just like the logo. I have chosen the title ‘simply Dope’ because the magazine is full of American artists that all go under the genre of R&B and Hip Hop. The image is a close up of a lady wearing a red hat, which matches her red lip stick. Showing her white teeth, she poses quite seductively, with her lifting her right hand up, placing her finger on her lip. The background of this cover is red, giving a very romantic and seductive theme to this magazine cover. I’ve made nearly everything red to match a valentines theme, since this magazine is issued in the month of February. The dateline is right under the masthead. The barcode lies at the bottom right of the cover. The coversine’s are limited, the main one is about the lady shown and the one of the left is very simple, naming the stars the magazine includes.

This magazine is more feminine. The masthead ‘Be unique ‘is very unique. The word unique is in a feminine and elegant font, it’s a serif font because the words join with each other, while the word be is big and bold, its more dominant. The master head consists of two colours, the font colour used for ‘Be’ is black and grey and the font colour used for ‘unique’ is pink. I have closed this to make sure this magazine will not only appeal to girls but boys with the dark and light colours clashing. The whole cover is covered with a close up image of a girl, with bushy hair and s=cheek piercings. This will attract more girls and young teenagers to this magazine. The cover lines are white, and the main cover line is about the girl in the image. We know this is the main cover line by the increase in the size of the font and it’s also in another style to the rest of the cover lines. Following all the cover lines are three diamante’s, personating the stylish theme of this magazine. The bar code is at the bottom left, and the date line is just underneath the mast head in black

My second idea is simple but it has an urban theme to it. The image includes a teenager with a high top which hints this magazine is going to have genres such as urban, R&B, hip hop and grime music and artists featured inside. He is also making straight eye contact with the audience building up a relationship. The masthead is bold and striking; however it is easy to say, it’s also placed in front of the image which makes the masthead more dominant and important. The masthead colour theme is blue and white, with the black music note; the background of this cover is black. The main cover line is about the boy in the image it stands out so that the audience will know the main article in this issue of the magazine. All the cover lines are followed with stars implying that this magazine is full of stars nothing more and nothing less. There’s also a sticker included which is the magazines slogan, this could attract more readers to have more interest about the articles in the magazine. The barcode is on the bottom left which is quite common for music magazines.
