Paramore is the kind of music genre i want on my magazine cover because they don't just stick to one genre. They have written music that can be classed as Rock, Pop, and even slower, more calming music that is a genre all of it's own. Because my mag is a mixture of everything i think this will represent this well.
Also, the images that they have are a range of attitude, fun, calm and, perhaps like this one, everything. Although none of them are smiling having Hayley Williams at the front highlights her status, which could be seen as fun because of the controversal idea of it. Also, her position and hand gesture emphasizes attitude and because they are all looking directly at the camera with a neutral expression it emits a calm atmosphere but with the attitude hidden underneath. This is the kind of photo i am going to try and capture.
I also like how the writing instantly grabs your attention without drawing focus away from the image. By having the band name in a bright pink it allows the reader to instantly know what to expect from the mag and the bright colours all contrast to each other. I like this idea because for me it represents several different genres that all contrast to each other (for example classical and heavy metal) yet everyone of them are liked for different reasons. In the photos i have already taken i have done this my making my artist wear odd shoes with various contrasting items such as a beach ball and an army hat.
This kind of cover may appeal to audiences because although Paramore is the main attraction it does tell you what other things to expect to find inside. This kind of mag would appeal to a range of audiences because the bands are relatively well known and Paramore has become popular to a wide range of people making the mag attractive to more. This is the kind of style and form that i want to interpret into my magazine because it appeals to more people and represents my style of magazine.
The layout of this content page is the style that i intend to use in my magazine as the columns are a requirement but also the uniformity mixed with the large photo create the contrast of the genres in the mag.
As i haven't decided what i am writing my double page spread on i don't know what i am basing it on in the sense on style and form
