Research: Genre front cover 10

This is a front cover from jazzwise magazine, which can be used for my genre research. 


The masthead of the front cover is in serif although. This will make the front cover conventional as there is some variation.

The text on this front cover is great as it keeps the colour scheme of the front cover. The colour scheme being a violet and white. There are multiple headlines on this cover, all being bold font and using the violet colour scheme.
The image on this front cover is good as it looks as if it was taken on studio but has focused on only the model. The model is giving direct address as he is looking at the camera, which is conventional.

The model in the image is wearing a pair of jeans and a leather jacket which will appeal to the modern audience as his a dress code is smart/casual. The model is posed in a crouched position holding a prop. The prop he is holding is a saxophone and will be conventional for the magazine as it will appeal to the target audience. The image was taken in a full body shot which is due to his pose.

How this has influenced my creativity:

  • The use of props as it will appeal to the target audience.
  • The pose the model is in as it is unique and unconventional.
  • The colour scheme and how it matches the whole front cover.

  1. Develop this further. Use cut aways to aim focus on specific features and try to add representation theory.
