'Acoustic' Magazine Deconstruction

Newton Faulkner edition of 'Acoustic' Magazine

• "Acoustic" set behind main image, which connotes that it is a well-established magazine and is well-known enough to not have to show the full word. 
• Colour Scheme: 

1. Yellow - usually depicted is the colour of happiness or joy. It is used for the masthead and name of artist. Yellow stands out against the other colours used, meaning the words in this colour are significant to the magazine.
2. Red - This colour is another bold contrasting colour and has been used to show puffs and key words which draw the reader in, such as "special edition" and "reviewed".
3. White - Bright, stands out against his shirt and is used for the big names of artists and bands featured in the magazine.
4. Black - used to make things stand out against the background - used for the strip at both the top and the bottom.

• The artist is looking directly at the camera, which draws the reader in and engages them with the artist or band.
• Strip's are used at both the top and bottom of the page to give the reader an idea of what the magazine features.
• The artist is seen wearing the stereotypical clothing for an acoustic artist - a natural coloured shirt which has the top few buttons undone, creating a relaxed feel to both the magazine and the artist. Faulkner is also pictured with his guitar, which is a convention of a lot of acoustic artist images and music videos - connotes the genre.
