Evaluation

the title of my magazine stands for 'Rated Music Weekly' I have chosen to abbreviate it to 'RMW' for it to take a similar approach to the world famous NME magazine. The colours used are also a similar use of the NME magazine, using a bright red for it to appeal to the target audience and catch the readers attention. Costume and props used in the magazine are sending out the impression of an indie look, matching the genre of my magazine, by using guitars for the double page spread it shows that the music and artists that will feature within the magazine will be alternative/independent. Throughout the whole magazine, i used the same fonts to ensure a more professional look, I made the more important parts of the text on each paragraph bold to make it more eye catching maybe making the reader stop and want to read the whole article. The layout for my front page and double page spread almost duplicates the style of the NME magazines to help suggest that it is in fact a independent music magazine rather than a pop or rock genre. However, the layout of the contents page is different to the NME style as I thought that it would look more out there if i were to put all the featured content of the magazine together rather than be set out about the space of the page. The person I took photos of for my magazine looks more of an individual rather than one who follows mainstream culture, which is the type of people i aimed by magazine at so using this person shows that those are the people i am aiming my magazine at.
