C & C Production and Website. (C and C stands for Codes and Conventions)
1. Start by gathering together as many examples of your chosen genre as you can. Post everything that you like to your blog, with a brief explanation of what you like about it.
2. If you notice things that happen regularly, makes a note of it as a convention.
3. If you are filling in the Website section, take a screenshot of the website because it is likely to change.
Inspiration:
Fader - The reason why I liked and felt inspired by their covers is because they are unique and simplistic. I really liked the photography and also the fact that you can only order these magazines online which is why they don't have a barcode on their front covers.
Rolling Stone- This magazine took me by interest because of their unique masthead which creates a 50s chic look to the magazine. I also liked the fact that the majority of the covers have simple coloured backgrounds which create a sense of uniformity to the magazine.
NME - This magazine inspired me as it is British based magazine company which means the majority of their artists are Uk based. I also liked that they actually broke this convention by using Rihanna on one of the front covers. The magazine also coordinates it's covers with the general aesthetic of the artists which may attract more fans of the artists.
Billboard- This magazine attracted me as they use unique colour themes which are't very typical of magazine front covers and this may attract people to want to buy the magazine. I also liked the monochrome on one of the covers as it looks original and made the blue masthead pop out at me. The artists on the covers also look natural and look as if they are in normal clothing which creates an idea of simplicity to the covers.
Muic Week- I liked the colours and the fact that the covers have many coverlines on the front of them which makes the magazine appear to be busy but also makes it clear to audiences that they cover a range of topics. I felt inpsired by the unique photography but especially by the Beabadoobee cover because of the eye catching background.
Fader- I like the contents pages by Fader as they are very simplistic and coordinate with the simplicity of their front covers, making this magazine unique in its own way. The contents pages I chose by Fader inpired me because of the monochrome used on one of them and the theme of red on the others.
Rolling Stone- These contents pages feature a large variety of different information which directly demonstrate what is featured within the magazine. The red and white that is used coordinate with the the front cover and the 50s chic vibe.
Billboard- I feel inspired by the colours used in the covers and also how big the photographs of the artists were; I also really like the photography and they have inspired me to recreate them in that way.
Mojo- I also like the photography on this cover and I like the way that the coverlines frame the artists. The simplicity and the themes on the magqazines are unique which is what stood out to me
