Jazz Magazine Deconstruction

                                                       Magazine Genre: Jazz

This Jazz magazine has a masthead and a main image on the front, the image is the only one on the magazine and the person who features in this main image is someone who is invloved in Jazz. This means the image which has been used is suitable for the magazine and fits the purpose. The colours used on this magazine however are very basic and plain and will not catch the attention of peoplepassing by. This would mean people would just look over and not notice the magazine. Also as the colours arevery dull and limited, people may think the magazine will be dull and not intersting so they simply walk past and do not ackonwledge it. The colour scheme used also does not relate to Jazz. People who would be looking for a Jazz magazine may want something more vibrant and colourful and this magazine does not offer it. The magazine features a technique called Wob, whcih is where there is a black background and white texts. This is a common feature used to make the text stand out more and this is important for this magazine as the colours are so simple and un intersting.

Not much information features on the front of this magazine and this could mean asviewers do not fiind out a lot about whats inside the magazine, they may feel they do not want to buy it. There is no ctaching stories on the front so many people will beun intersted and may feel the magazine is pointless. Howver, although the magazine is plain, the use of the blue colour dotted around the magazine gives it more life and makes it look livlier and fuller. The colour blue could also create a meaning to the magazine, blue connotes sadness which could be said as 'the blues' and this fits in with Jazz.
