Magazine Pictures (kinda)

As in the previous blog i mentioned pictures that i taken for the backdrop for my magazine pictures well here they are..
if only i knew how to put the text above the pictures ah well

Locations chosen

Before todays lesson I took some pictures of the locations I will be using for my music magazine. But unfortunately at this moment I do not have the cable for my camera to transfer them onto this computer so I will upload these photo's when i have the opportunity to do so.

Target Audience and other stuff, Front Cover Analysis

This is my front cover analysis which was saved as a draft months ago without me realising.
1. Top Banner: This location of the magazine is used for the majority of the time to display the names of bands featured in this months issue of the magazine.
2.Name of magazine/logo & slogan: The metal hammer logo is always located under the top banner and is usually layered under the image but not completely. The slogan Defenders of the faith also is hardly moved around front covers of the magazine.
3. Image & Main feature: The main image used on this edition of Metal Hammer has been adapted from the album artwork of "A Matter Of Life And Death" by Iron Maiden which just so happens to be named on the front cover as well indicating that they will be the main feature of this edition.
4. Free supplement: This is located beside the top banner so it can easily be read by for example someone in a shop interested in buying this magazine.
5. Barcode: Located just under the name of the magazine, this can usually be placed anywhere on the magazine, Just under the barcode it displays the name of the publisher "Future Publishing".

This is the target audience for my Music Magazine:
