Visual Magazine Profile

Above, I have created a moodboard of images that emulate my magazine genre, indie pop. Most of the magazine covers above attract me, however some of them don't. I decided to put some front covers of magazines that don't attract me so that I could change up their style a bit and add visual effects that I think will look nice and meet my brief. Their a similar comparisons I can make with all of the magazines, as most them use vibrant colours, such as pink to attract their audience. This can help me meet my brief as I will know what colours of have a brief idea of what colours to use on my front cover, contents page and double page spread of my music magazine. The artists on the front cover of each magazine, except the 'Bust' magazine with Lily Allen on the front cover, are all posing and looking in relation to the indie pop genre. The 'Bust' magazine with Janelle Monáe on the front cover, she's posing, covering her mouth which can illustrate fun or wildness which is a connotation of the indie pop genre. This will then allow me to be closer to meeting my brief as I can now collect some ideas of how I want my model to pose on the front cover of my music magazine.
