Masthead: Hybrid
Font: Font was funky and sort of punk
which relates to the genre of the
magazine which is rock/ pop punk.
Black and white is the main colours which
work well with the genre of the magazine.
The colours can also suggest a
sophisticated mood which is suitable for
the target audience of the magazine.

Main Image/MES (Props, Costume, Lighting,

Setting)/Connotations.
MES- The mise-en-sen throughout the magazine is
strongly related to the target audience and to whom the
magazine is aimed at. The background image (main cover
image) will tie in nicely with where everything will be
positioned on the magazine. The doll idea is good
however if its representing just Halloween, it can be
limited to how much it sells.

Feedback on Genre and overall.

MES- Bold centred image. Connotates to everything a

magazine needs. One problem you might though would
be arranging everything in the right positions so it all
fitted on without ruining the main image itself. Nice idea
choosing red however a lot of other non-rap magazines
use red as well, for example rock magazines use a lot of
red colours as well.
MES- All images are taken outside which gives a good
lighting effect on the main person in the image. Costume
of black is good as it stands out amongst all the
backgrounds that arent obviously black. Photo angles
and shots are good as they connotate to what music
magazines usually go for.

Very good magazine start overall. Maybe think

about what the genre of this magazine would
like to see in this magazine and think about
what your cover lines and top and bottom
strips will be.

MES- Lighting, costume and props are all relevant to the

genre of the magazine. Id retake a few of the photos to
make them look a bit more professional and maybe edit
the background out if theres cars involved in the picture.
MES- The lighting was slightly off in the music magazine
and there was a drainage pipe visible in shot so maybe

Overall its a very good magazine and the

genre and purpose of the magazine all fit well
together.

Very good thoughtful process and the genre

fits with the magazine images and content.
The only limitations I think will occur will be
the season seller of having a Halloween
edition. Good genre of a rock magazine with
different elements as well.

The genre of people who like indie music and

indie rock magazines is good as its becoming
more popular these days. Good ides just need
to adapt to what youve already done.

Good genre of rock music and I think the

image has been taken well to fit all the

retake some of the shots in a different area of an alley so

that you have a better background.

essential things a music magazine needs.

MES- good lighting, costume for the magazine, maybe

take a few more shots so that you have a few more
photos to choose from

Good, maybe change the style of your

masthead to so that it fits with the genre of
your magazine a little better.

MES- Good photos however I think that it can be a little

dark in certain areas of the page

MES- the lighting is dark outside and might be a bit too

dark for readers and there are some limitations to codes
and conventions as they arent looking towards the
magazine.

Some of the codes and conventions for the

magazine arent met for example your image
doesnt have the model looking directly at the
camera which could limit selling of the
magazine as most music magazines will have
the person on the front looking towards the
camera.
Good aspects and ideas to the magazine
throughout but go over some of the mis-en
sen things regarding the images.
