In my two case studies, there was some elements that I would like to include when I create my own music magazine.
Firstly, I really liked the simplistic colour scheme of red, blue and white on the front cover of XXL Magazine because it appeals to both genders as well as complimenting each other well. When I create my own music magazine I hope to have an audience of young adults so taking on board the success of this colour scheme, and potentially use the clean look on my own magazine.
Secondly, I like the short snappy masthead so I want something similar when I come to create my own.
I would like to take inspiration from the cover image as it looks well planned and very successfully conveys the artists personalities and how they juxtapose when all sitting together. I would like to have a white background like XXL Magazine has because it looks clean, airy, spacious and calm. On HIP HOP Weekly the background is dark, and in all this makes the front cover look really gloomy and cramped.
I don't like how HIP HOP Weekly's front cover looks overly cluttered so I know how I don't want my magazine to look. In comparison, XXL and HIP HOP Weekly probably have the same amount of cover stars but the different ways in which they are positioned on the front are responsible for the way they look, although the cover stars on XXL are in a clump the juxtaposing colours they are wearing makes it look pleasant to look at.
