Group Magazines

Me and my group sat around a computer and decided that we wanted to have an eye on our poster as our artist is going to explain her lifestory in this album. Therefore we thought that the eye could represent the artist welcoming the audience to her life. We also decided that on our magazine poster we wanted to have colours which can represent the northern lights, which relates back to our artists name.

Above is Meghan's magazine advert, and I really like how big the image of the eye is in the center of the screen as it grabs the audiences attention straight away. Also the connotation of the eye can show that the artist wants to let the audience in and understand her point of view. I like how the typograph is in the left side of the frame in white block high case letters. This makes the language of the magazine informal and blunt which relates to our target audience as they are teenagers to young adults. I also like the colour of the eye as it looks like a spectrum which relates back to the song - Say my Name (spectrum).
The magazine above is conventional to our music genre as the image in the center is colourful and stands out which is conventional to the music genre electro house. I think in order to improve the magazine other than the image the poster should be more colourful which will help make the poster more conventional to the genre electro house.

My group decided to use Meghan's magazine advert above as our final magazine advert as we feel it follows the electro-house genre conventions. Also as the eye is in the centre of the screen it instantly grabs the audiences attention and helps the audience feel they are building a relationship with Northern Lights as the eye is directly looking at the audience. Also we decided to use this magazine advert as the iris of the eye is the colour of the spectrum of a rainbow, which relates back to the song title - Spectrum (Say my name).
