Textual Analysis of Existing Work Summary

After analysing existing work, I found that there are many strengths within the colour palette used in this person's magazine and across most music magazines from the rock/indie rock genres, e.g. red,black,and white; we will apply this to our magazine as it is used quite effectively in all other rock magazines, like Rolling Stone, Q, and NME. Also, the images used are quite good quality and link very well to the article clearly, however they could be a little more realistic. Although there are many strengths, there are also quite a few weaknesses to this magazine; the cover lines on the front cover of the magazine are in a white font, this doesn't contrast well at all with the background image as they are very similar colours, making it almost difficult to read what is written. They could have perhaps put a box behind each cover line, this would have made it more obvious and clear to read, also making it eye-catching to the reader. Also, on the contents page, the main artist's (Roxy Carter) image is one of the smallest on the page, this isn't very effective as she is on the front cover, which means she is the main feature of the magazine; therefore she should have a larger/the largest image.
