layout exercise

for this magazine article "M" i was given the task to name the band who are apart of the R&B genre. i thought the band had a french feel so i researched similar artists and i saw a band called the eagles so i decided to call them the buzzards which i google translated for the french name. mt cover lines where based on similar artists like Chris brown, Ne-yo and usher. i choose this font because its big and broad and is sort of similar to the "the blues genre"

For the "music x"  magazine i was given the artist Bjork who is an Icelandic cult singer. i chose a font which was similar to the masthead because i am not too familiar with the genre  but i also wanted it to be unique. i researched some similar artists to put on my magazine and in the end i chose: radio head, pan sonic and beck.

for the magazine "pitch " i was given a picture of Marilyn Manson who in the picture looks like something from a horror movie so i wanted to choose a font that would keep to the theme. i chose the red color because the connotations  closely follow the theme as well as the hard rock  theme so likened them to def leppard AC DC and marrilion 

for the magazine "M" i was given an image of drake who is an "R&B" artist  i chose not to create a busy (full) page of writing as i thought this genre of music  may  want more focus on the music/artists. for the main cover line i used drakes latest album "what a time to be alive". for the other cover lines i used similar artists such as kanye west. the cover lines font was bold and similar to the masthead but the main cover line i chose a more rebellious font.  

for the magazine article "sound" the main image contained king of Leon who took up the majority of the page with a small section for the main cover line  in which i chose their latest album "mechanical bull" i also used a similar font to the "kings of Leon" which was already gave to me. for the sub cover lines i did want them to cover the bands faces so i moved them towards bottom with a similar to the masthead.
