Final Product commentary

For my final  magazine cover, the black background makes the image stand out and the text is of a mid toned color which attracts the audience's attention. Moreover, the use of dark colors emphasizes my chosen genre because it associates with violence and crime. Since the title of my magazine is "nOstalgia", the audience expects the main image to have a connotation with it. My masthead has two different font sizes making the "O" in nostalgia protrude from the rest of the letters.

For my contents page, the effect on the sub heading is artistic, big and bold to catch the eye of the audience, making them intrigued with the contents they will find it in the magazine. Furthermore,the image is perfectly placed to the side so that there is enough space for the text alignment. The picture is a close up because it brings out a focus on the artist's facial expression and highlights the importance of the magazine. The spray paint on the background connotes the informality of the magazine. This is because Grime music is typically set in biased areas.

The double page spread layout is conventional as the text surrounds the artist. This brings out a sense of personality because the audience can understand that the story is about the artist. Also, the artist's facial expression indirectly motivates the audience to read the story and to somehow draw themselves throughout.
