Sniffin' Glue Magazine Analysis

 The magazine "Sniffin' Glue" is very un-unsual in the designing of the front cover. It is un like the traditionally settings of a magazine and for some they think it is a brilliant design and for others they feel it is stupid and will make less people buy the magazine.

For the design of the magazine, the colours are very basic as they only use the colours black and white, this can make a magazine look sleek or can detract viwers from the magazine as they may feel it looks boring and un-interesting. On certain magazines a main image is included but on others, like the one below, a image is not presented and instead a drawing is shown. The wacky design of this magazine would make some question how simple a magazine can get before people stop buying it. Very few pieces of information which are contained in the magazine are shown on the front cover so for a viwer, they know very little as to what is inclueded in the magaizne, so from this the people who buy the magazine may only be purchasing it because of it's design.

Usually to attract a viewers attention, colours need to be added to grab their attention. As the colour sheme of this magazine is basic black and white, the magazine itself has to be good and there has to be a story line which atracts the reader. On the magazine to the right, the first issue of Sniffin' Glue, they have included text which says "punk reviews", this sentence alone would attract viewers who like punk music and many others as reviews from other people often interest the reader as they want to know what everyone else thinks of the genre of music.
