I've started too also look at what magazines are existing in the music industry/market. Especially, I have tried to focus on the types of magazines that relate to my genre of rock/punk. I easily found many very well presented influences such as
NME which is a popular music publication in the UK, published weekly since March 1952. It started as a music newspaper and gradually moved toward a magazine format during the 1980's. This is a great magazine for me too look at because it is the pinnacle magazine of rock/punk music. Many great bands of the past and present have been published on the front of this magazine. The reason I have looked at these magazine front covers is because I can see what the main style of the central image is, what the layout and composition of the magazine is like so I get a good understanding of when I make a magazine advert which will be published into a magazine like this. By looking at these I get a better understanding of what I must create.
Also this front cover of the same magazine,
NME is a lot different to the one above. I have chose two different ones so I can get a lot more information and influence if I look at a variety of examples. The contrast between then both is always related to the central image and who the magazine is writing about. The main element is the person, band, singer etc who is found on the front. From this, all the other elements of the magazine are put in to place to relate to the main focus. For example, the other text boxes around the side might relate to the person on the front cover, or the style of the magazine is related to the genre of which the band/singer sings. All these little things make up what the magazine is about and each element reflects its own, small part in what the magazine is trying to get across. All of this will help me, and make me consider how I will compose my magazine advert, how to set it out, market it, style it and any other way I will make it appeal to my audience and reflect the band that it will be about.
Whereas compared to the other two magazines, this one is much different style compared to
NME. Classic Rock is a magazine which is a special edition printed text which focuses on bands or artists which are well known at the time and in the lime-light. This magazine is very different too other magazines by the way it presents the main focus which is on it, in this case it is Pink Floyd. You can see this by obviously the title of the band and the main elements which are iconic to the band, the hammers, beams of light and the glass pyramid. This is really good to look at because it relates to both a magazine cover and a magazine advert by only focusing on one artist and what they are about. Also the well laid out, attractive and colourful layout of the cover relates to the band and also the style stays on track with what genre the band is. This is a great example and a good influence in how too great a magazine advert.
