This is a mood board I made which features Kerrang! magazine and Rock Sound magazine. All the covers have similar things on them, such as a big bold titles at the top of the page. The title is usually black or white and contrast against the background but sometimes are colours that are used on the cover. The key features are always on the cover with the band or artists name in big writing with subheadings underneath. I really like the look of these magazines and would like to try something similar with my magazine, I want to make it look similar but not make it so it looks identical to these. On my magazine I could use colours like black and white so they contrast against each other making the titles and subheadings stand out. With these magazines I like the way they use splashes of bold colours, usually vivid red or yellows. I think that technique works really well as it brightens up the whole cover, makes it look interesting and catches the readers eye without over doing it and making it look to cluttered. The way they place the key features in these magazines is different to ones that feature things like Chart music because they usually feature more than one person as most of the people in the magazines are in bands.
