Analysing Magazine Front Cover, Contents and Double Page Spread - 1. Front Cover

Front Cover Annotation

I bought this edition of NME in September last year whilst Arctic Monkeys were in L.A. producing their newest album 'AM'. This magazine in particular is exclusive to the band and my double page spread also features Arctic Monkeys. It also features an article from The Strokes, Paul McCartney and Johnny Marr, but focuses mainly on Arctic Monkeys.


I created a VideoScribe to analyse this front cover which took me about 2 hours to get familiar with the software and create my video.

Pictures for magazine mock-up

Temporary Photos

These are the pictures that a I took to use for my mock-up of my music magazine in the music room of our school. These are only temporary for my mock-up front cover. I will use Photoshop to make it look like a magazine by putting the masthead and headline etc. I took these pictures by using my IPhone.
