research and planning: music magazine analysis

This magazine genre is rock, you can tell this by the people of chose on the cover, they are well-known in the music industry. The font of the masthead is smaller than the font of the story that says 'the beatles' in caps lock. This is to suggest that the beatles is bigger and well-known than the magazine brand themselves. And also the other story lines are smaller than the beatles story line, this makes the image stand out more and it is reflect in the target audience. The colour of the magazine follows a colour theme: black, red, white and grey. This magazine stories are about the people who are on the cover and also other similar artists, this is to aim their magazine at a specific target audience. The location of the picture is in America, this links to the magazine storyline.

This magazine genre is also rock, you can also tell this by the people of choice on the cover, he is well-known. The masthead is different from the rolling stone magazine because the masthead is in the top corner and it is the only one with a red background. It follows the three colour code this tells the magazine is conventional to other rock magazine. The image is always in the middle this is another conventional code. They do this because that is the first thing the target audience looks at. The story lines have rock and other artists from similar genre, this is to get different target market to buy the magazine. There is a colour code of black, white and red which another code convention followed by this magazine and the layout has more stories than the Beatles magazine cover because this one has no background, making it look professional.
