T like how they have used black t outline as well as grey shadows in order to create the illusion of a 3D lock. O® As many people know, CLASH magazine also contains elements about fashion as well as music ar I believe they have managed to advertise this well by the way they have displayed it on the front of their magazine. This is something I may include within m own magazine perhaps in a similar position. Also as they have added designers and well-known names onto the front of their magazine this has widened their audience greatly- benefitting them in the long tera Providing their audience with the name of the alternative band shom on the front cover allows the audience to see what the magazine contains and also provides great advertising for these band-lovers The shadow behind ‘The 1975? text allows the text to stand out from The photograph used as @ background is very the photograph behind it-making it effective as it displays @ close up shot of a more visible and bold.

In my opinion I think that this is a my own text within my magazine. good idea as its simplistic but allows the Page not to look too busy. Furthermore, I believe this may be another idea I will use in my magazine, but using a mid-shot instead of a close up shot. contents page CLASH have enabled their audience to capture more o visual idea of what the rest of magazine will include and also given examples of more of their incredible photos- this is ¥ something I shall include wit! contents page.

CLASH ave also accomplished this ell by using white highlight n order for the font to stand ut on top of the pictures. Oo may be looking for easier. ‘This is something I believe want to include within my ow I like now within their magazine they have used various styles of fonts. Tt is usually the case ‘that the title of the page (in this case the contents page) is in 3 more stylish and complicated font than the rest of the text on ‘the same page. This nelps to separate the main information from the different features of the magazine-this is also helped by using bold. It also directs the eye of ‘the audience to separate parts of the magazine. By including things such as ‘features, regulars and fashion? within the contents page of their magazine allows the audience to narrow down their search for what they may be interested in. Overall, making it easier for their target audience to read through their magazine. Plus, by putting some of the text in bold and other parts of the text not in bold helps to highlight key parts of information that may interest their audience. I like this personally because I believe that it makes the magazine easier to read. The photograph In my opinion, despite the fact the photograph used here fills the page I think that this has given the magazine a good and simple layout which-despite what many people think is what many audiences are looking for (something that’s easy to reed). Another thing is that due to the fact that they have used a mid-snot for the photograph this enables the viewers a full image of what the music artist looks like. The layout Although the layout to this magazine is simple, I still believe that it is effective. This is my opinion becouse I like its simplicity and the fact that everything is in an order-making it easy to read. I would use this layout in my magazine however I would adapt it slightly in order to make the page more busy-but still keep it simple with colour schemes and the whole layout. Colour analysis I like the colours used within this page as they link back to the front cover, showing that they are keeping colour schemes. This is something I would like to incorporate into my own magazine as I believe it looks smart and professional. The way in which they have used black against the white background allows the audience to read the text with no struggles and it also creates a sophisticated look for this page which I like and may also incorporate into my own magazine. I also feel that the blue is a nice contrast. Ce Mithin this magazine I Like how the font comes across as having more of @ purpose (to show the differences betueen titles and subtitles). 1 like this because I believe that it separetes the text into subtitles and titles more clearly- overall making it more visually appealing. Also I like how the size of the text catches the audience’s attention. This is something that I will incorporate into my magazine. The font
