Inspirational Texts

I like the use of images on this front cover as they stand out in the magazine and the use of lots of images, rather than text may appeal more to customers. The bold font and use of white colour, against the dark main background image, of the main sell line brings the text out, which makes it stand out from the rest of the magazine. Also, the text on the skyline and the sell lines is in a white colour against a black background so is easily readable. As the masthead is brought behind the main image, it doesn't stand out as much and customers may not be able to read what the magazine title actually is which is important. The bar code is easily found, as it is, like most of the text, white against a black background. Kerrang magazine uses a 4 colour palette scheme of black, white, yellow and red. 

The 4 colour palette scheme is consistent throughout Kerrang magazine as the contents uses the colours black, white, yellow and red for the font like the front cover does. I like how the main image which promotes the content of the magazine is large and takes up approximately half the page as it is the main subject of the magazine. I also like how the table of contents is arranged into different headings depending on the subject, so the page the reader is looking for is easily found from looking under the subject heading. This page also includes information on subscription, and writer's comments.

I like the colour scheme used in this issue of Rock Sound magazine; the main colour pallete used is black, white and blue. The main image is the only image on the front cover of the magazine, apart from a few smaller ones. This makes the image stand out a lot more on the cover and promotes the main content of the magazine. Like Kerrang, the masthead is sent behind the main image making it hard to read. The white font on the sell lines is hard to read in places where the background image is lighter. The bar code and main sell line are easily readable.

The 3 colour palette scheme of black, white and blue is kept consistent throughout the magazine. I like the large use of image taking up half the contents page as it stands out and makes the contents page less boring as the rest is just text. There is additional information included about each of the main features on the contents which is useful for the reader. There is no information on subscription on this page.
