On the left, is my personal mashed up

magazine. This is because it consists of 2

similar genre magazines and 1 with a different genre. The

magazines are GQ, Men’s Health, & Top

Gear. I will be analysing different magazine elements that I like within my

my mashed up magazine. I will also state the steps to a food front cover.

Although none of these 3 magazines are a music magazine, I really like the use of colour and the way the content is constructed within the magazines.

GQ has used white and black throughout their magazine which is very professional and it represents class and seriousness. These 2 colours really go well with each other because they are opposites and they stand out exquisitely.

The main image of this supercar magazine is this Lamborghini is yellow. The colour of the car really stands out and it matches the colour scheme of the magazine which is yellow.

Men’s Health magazine uses the same lay out format. They are using 2 opposite to make their content stand out. The colours red, white and black represents motivation, happy and calm. These colours matches the ideology of the magazine which is to lose weight and become healthier.

The captions like “smash stress in 30 seconds or less” will really stand out for customers as it has a cure for stress.

The captions at the supercar magazine will really persuade the customers to buy the magazine as it mentions what is included inside the magazine.

What makes a front cover look professional?

To start with, a magazine will need an appropriate name or masthead. The name will need to be carefully thought out, this is because the easier and eye catching the name the easier it will be for potential customers to remember the brand and logo. The magazine will also need a main image which will be edited in a way that looks professional as well as a secondary image at the bottom of the page which will be used for extra information for the customers. The magazine will need persuasive, appropriate and attractive headlines. This is because it will sell the magazine to them as it includes what is included in the magazine.
