We were set the task of annotating a music magazine cover in order to establish the brand identity and relating factors. The task was designed to help us to be able to recognise what parts of a magazine cover display the brand identity, and the effects this consequently has on the reader and rest of the magazine as a whole. This will be useful when we are creating our own music magazine covers, as we will be required to come up with a brand identity in order to make it realistic and effective.
The first magazine I decided to annotate was an edition of the New Musical Express (NME) which was released on 10th July 2010. It featured Caleb Followill from American band Kings of Leon on the cover. I have included my annotations of this magazine, and also of Q magazine from September 2010 featuring Lady Gaga, Jay-Z and Dave Grohl, below.
