Production Log #7 (14/10/2012) - Music Magazines

Recently I've been wondering which Magazine to get my ideas from. Obviously I will use more than one. I'm just wondering which of these would directly apply to my magazine.

Firstly I looked at Metal Hammer:


Metal hammer tends to look at the darker side of Rock and Metal. Using bold blacks and reds as their mastheads.

The jagged and seemingly random placement of the subtexts further reinforce the darker and more rebellious side of metal.

I then looked at Kerrang!:


Kerrang uses straight and well aligned fonts and placements. This could be a good feature to use.
