Oasis / The Enemy Image Evaluation


As you can see from these two images i really like the effect that the black and white colouring has on a bands appearance. I would like to use the device of black and white because i think it instantly makes a band look more cool. I think it somehow makes the band more appealing as it blocks the colour out and keeps everything simple, i think this is used to show that the colour and surroundings are not important, it's only the band and their music that are important, that's also why i think the surroundings are very dull and ordinary. And it also makes the bands look very cool. That's why i want to use this device. I like both of these images in seperate ways. I like the fact that Oasis have serious poses to represent that bad boy image they have. However, i also like the relaxed tone that The Enemy have. It shows them sitting down in a very ordinary room just laughing and smiling. This represents the unity of the band and the fact that they love making music and that's their passion. I'm going to try and combine these two images by either having my band people leaning up against the walls laughing showing very relaxed, happy and loveable characters, or i will have them sitting down against a wall with serious poses or straight faces not looking directly looking at the camera to demonstrate a rebellious and bad boy image.

NME Layout

My magazine will be similar to NME in many different aspects. For instance, my magazine will have the same music genre and i would like the front page layout to be similar to NME. You can see in the imagine that it looks very compact and it looks like there's alot on the page. I like this idea and i would like to use this device as it implies that there is alot inside the magazine and lots of different topics. This would appeal more to a buyer than a magazine with lots of white space for the reason i just stated, and that it would look boring and bland. Whereas the NME magazine looks vibrant and really interesting and it's almost like the cover is right in your face urging you to read inside.
