authentic motive the magazine sends to the reader.
The image being the background also shows how the
magazine doesn’t need impressive effects nor bright
colours to draw attention and engage with their
demographic. The nature shown in the background
relates to the roots of jazz music due to it originating
from African Americans. This shows how the magazine
and jazz music in general is un touched and does not
interfere with auto tune and modern technology. The
lady In the image emphasises the laid back mood the
magazine reveals and how this is correlated through
clothing, posture, facial expressions and setting. These
all tie in with the contents page as it suggests how the
magazine is reminding the reader on every page how
the magazine has a overall appeal of a chilled outlook.
The lady’s attire is basic and does not contain colours
apart from the toned down nudes and white. This
automatically engages to the reader as a heavenly,
floating vibe as she is the brightest aspect in the
image. The path she is standing on entails how jazz
music is a journey and has mystery in terms of
adventuring with different parts of Jazz.

visual or acoustic learner. Furthermore, the style of the contents page is some what
informative and suggests that the demographic is entailed to read and get interested or
tempted into going to that specific page and reading on further.

The running head in the centre of the contents page
reinforces the equality and symmetrical feature of

head titles the contents page successfully and does not
contain confusion for the reader. The font is easy to
read and is fairly basic due to the white heaven like
text. The running head is large and signifies how the

typography shows how Jazz wise magazine do not
encourage hierarchy and protest against inequality.

what is being presented and what information is more
interesting than others. this is created using columns
and a slightly larger font size. this automatically shows
what is more important to read. furthermore, the left
and right columns split up into two categories which
break down the structure of the magazine and give it a
precise look overall. this is done by the title of each
column (category) being a larger font size and a broader
font type.

portrays this in wide ranges using typography,
images, style, and encouraging language.

evidently create a vision of how Jazz music is
a continuous feature in the music industry. The
magazine has good intentions and doesn't show
off or gloat about their fantastic artists, musical
content and high quality magazines.
