3 magazine genres

Kerrang!- Heavy rock 

 

Clear colour scheme of red, black, white and mustard which fits the heavy rock genre.

Red borders around images which are the posters to show they are linked.

Large bold red and white writing over the image, perhaps showing magazine issue or band. 

Menu bar to show other contents of the magazine, goes with colour scheme, good to show other extra information.

Photos follow the rule of thirds and attract the eye to the faces. Main image is a mid close up of a lead singer to attract people who like that band. 

The main image covers the title while the Masthead still is very bold.

Aimed towards an age range of about 16+.

I think this magazine is very effective for its target audience and applies to them as it creates a closed group from the Slipknot picture and detracts other people.

Nme- Indie Pop

  

Photos follow the rule of thirds but the main photo is covered by the Masthead which is unusual. 

Colour scheme of orange, white and black. 

Very large writing which reads 'Florence', tying in with the main photo, a mid close up, to attract the reader. 

Illusion of a menu bar with orange 'Plus' and then followed by extra bands/information included in the magazine.

Small picture at an 'edgy' angle in the corner as a sample of the posters inside. 

Light creamy-blue background which is a neutral colour to keep the eye attracted to the image and the writing without being boring. 

Aimed towards an age range of about 16-18+

This picture fits well for the target audience as it looks edited to create an 'edgy' or older look.

We <3 Pop- Pop 

 

Colour scheme of bright pink, yellow and white. The black on the magazine seems to be emphasised by the black on her outfit and may not count as part of the colour scheme. 

Images follow the rule of thirds and main image is slightly off centre to put in the other information at the side. Also like that others, main image is a mid close up.

Like the other 2 magazines, there is a menu bar with a sample of the posters included inside, shows some of the contents and attracts the reader as it's bright pink.

Yellow highlights the main title of the stories to give the reader quick knowledge of what's inside, easy to see the contents.

'Jessie J' in bold writing to link with the main image and attracts readers as she is well known.

More of a cluttered front cover to make it seem as though it has a lot in it and is value for money. 

Probably aimed for females of the ages 11/12+.

This cover fits well for the target audience but seems aimed at younger female teenagers but talks a lot about dating and love which I think would make it aimed at older readers.
