The Wire
The Wire is a magazine dedicated
to music – especially undiscovered
musicians.
In this magazine the tone could be
described as calm and peaceful
due to the use of white, cream and
light shades of brown.
This is the front cover of the
magazine and we can see that it
uses special effects and is an
example of visual hierarchy.
