I decided that the two previous magazines that i analysed were quite similar and didn't go into much detail, therefore, i extended my knowledge and research into magazines and analysed two more magazines that were completely different to the others and each other. I then reviewed and evaluated the magazines 'Country life' and 'NME'. Country life is a magazine focused on houses in Essex and advertises houses for sale, soft furnishings, bath rooms and kitchens. The 'NME' magazine is a popular music publication in the United Kingdom and includes music news, reviews, festivals, concerts, tickets, charts, tours and clubs. Both are analysed below.
These four magazine cover's are all very different in terms of appearance. 'Vogue' has an image of a zoomed in woman's face, similar to 'NME' but the model is male slightly more of his body is included, whereas 'Cosmopolitan' is a much longer short including the tops of the model's legs. 'Country life' is completely the individual compared to the other three magazines as the photograph on the front, as the background in this case, does not include a person but a house in the country side. This magazine cover is also very different because the actual image has been used as a background for the cover. The other's have got plain backgrounds around the model's and are not busy like Country life which has the house surrounded by plants and greenery. Another reason why 'Country life' appears different compared to the others is because the text on the cover has been laid out completely different. 'Cosmopolitan' and 'NME' both have captions around the main image, 'Vogue' has their captions to the left of the image and 'Country life' has only a few which are placed below the main focus of the image (the house). The caption is almost simply displayed as a small sentence. In most professional magazines they use three main colours and stick to them otherwise the covers look unprofessional and inexperienced. 'NME' and 'Country life' have used the same three main colours; red, black and white. Which shows that for each type of magazine there is no specific colours that are used its just what suit the author and what they think the audience will like. This is proven because 'NME' is a music magazine and 'Country life' is a country-side housing, in which neither of them have connections. 'Vogue' and 'Cosmopolitan' are both similar types of magazines, and both look into fashion, but have opposite colour themes; 'Vogue' with blue, black and creams. And 'Cosmopolitan' with pink, black and white.
