NYLON MAGAZINE. FRONT COVER.


Although my magazine is to be a music magazine, I wanted to gain ideas from various different magazines, for example fashion magazines as I feel this would be very closely linked to my magazine. I fet looking at other publications would provide me with ideas on typography, imagery, and colour schemes.
I first looked at NYLON. Nylon is a magazine which mainly focuses on fashion, music and indie culture. It could be described as being an "Indie" style magazine due to the style of clothes and music that it promotes.
It stood out as being different to me as it is always kept very simple. Simplicity is somthing that I would like to encorperate within my own work. This makes the image more of a focal point, which is exactly what I want to acheive. I also find the colour scheme quite interesting. The colour scheme fits/goes with what the model is wearing. The colours range from black, through different shades of purple and lilac, fitting in with the white background.
The fontography is also interesting to look at and makes the magazine look quite quirky and cool. It also higlights what is going to take up bigger sections of the magazine, for example, the main feature is in a bigger font, and the smaller features are in smaller fonts, etcetc.
