Magazine Analysis

To help me get ideas for the creation of my magazine i analysed different magazines. By doing this it gave me ideas which i 

could use and interpret into my music magazine. I looked at 2 genres one being Rock and the other Rap. For each magazine i annotated i talked about the following;

• Layout - Placement of the text, images
• Colour - The colours bright and bold colours
• Lures - Free Items 
• Photos - The way the celebrities have been placed, clothes, hairstyles
• Language - Short and straight to the point

The first three magazines are from the genre Rock/Heavy Metal. The Kerrang magazines show the same logo and the colour scheme is mainly black and white. The black font gives the magazine a dark feel which relates to the music genre. The font also changes and suits the celebrity which is on the front cover.

My next set of magazines i analyised are from the rap genre which is the genre i chose to make my magazine on. The magazines differ however the name of the magazine stays the same and in the same position. The photos taken are close up and emphisis the magazine more.
