M Magazine (Drake on cover)
Market - Mass market as people of most ages, and both genders would buy this magazine.
Genre - Hip-hop, R n' B
Main Cover Line - How many more times will Nicki Minaj turn him down?
Reasoning
I have kept to the colour scheme of the music magazine which is red. The name of the main cover star is written boldly on the cover page for attention grabbing. I have added in secondary images as support for my main cover line to really appeal to a wider audience.
M Magazine (The Welsh Rarebits)
Market - Mass marketing
Genre - Indie
Main Cover Line - A Welsh band that took over America and is headed for the UK
Reasoning
I did not follow the red colour scheme of the masthead as the red font blended with the background and was hard to read. Therefore, I chose the clothing of one of the main cover stars to base the colour scheme on. It looks fantastic, the cover lines really pop and break out from the black background of the cover stars clothing.
Music_X
Market - Niche, appeals only to a certain group of people with a common interest
Genre - Indie
Main Cover Line - Breaking all the stereotypes
Reasoning
As the main cover star is shown in a 3D way, I have adapted to the red and blue blur and based my colour scheme on it. The cover lines are really showed off on the black background and the name of the cover star is the first thing a person notices as it stands out so much.
Pitch
Market - Niche, appeals to cults or groups of audiences with an interest for this music
Genre - Heavy Metal/Hard Rock
Main Cover Line - Why be a Man when you can be an Animal?
Reasoning
This has to be my favourite cover page, not because of the cover star, but because of the really unique colour scheme that goes with this cover page. Red, white and black really showed off the cover star's personality and also are really attention grabbing.
Sound
Market - Mass as appeals to most people of both genders
Genre - Rock/Indie
Main Cover Line - Live like Kings, Bathe in Glory
Reasoning
I have added a pug to this cover page as I thought it suited the magazine and especially the photograph. I have followed the main colour scheme to appeal to the audience and to make the magazine follow the codes and conventions.
