exam practice clash magazine

Clash magazine is portrayed in a monochrome and de-saturated, to depict the  seriousness behind the artists that are being portrayed. Clash aim to venerate their musicians and present a simple atmosphere and design so the main splash is focused on the artists themselves. The magazine uses barely any cover lines and clear white writing which gives this originality over other music magazine, and shows the artist is the main centre of visual image. The musicians are seen in an abstract light with their faces not fully on show, this gives it a   twist and will ensure their readers will recognise their magazine and it is unique compared to the common ones on the market. 

the mast head is in sans-serif font and it bold in capitals which connotes the seriousness and formality of the magazine itself and the professional approach they have towards the music industry. 'Clash' only features one image on its front cover which shows the importance of that image and forces the reader to only focus on this musician. 

in the 1975 cover it shows a 'moody' atmosphere connoting how the band try to be  perceived also giving an insight to their music genre and taste which may interest the reader. The magazine shows clear momentous in how their covers are perceived, the 'living in darkness' cover shows how Clash' we cant see the musicians face, which is original and might draws the reader towards the magazine through its uniqueness compared to other magazines in the industry, conveying a darker atmosphere.
