2. The colour cohesion: This magazine cover consist of white
grey and pink. The pink text on the grey background create a bolder
effect, drawing in the readers attention. Having a white mast head,
shows that its a clean and classic magazine. I think having the
different shades of grey shows the different layers and views of
this magazine. The foreground image consist of a white banner
matching the white text The mast head: is behind lilys head only
revealing the bil-rd, however due to the success of the magazine
you can still identify the billboard brand mainly by the green
inside the D, the layering of the mast head being behind the fore
ground image shows the viewer that the iconography is the most
important part of this issue of billboard magazine. The main call
out on this magazine cover is Lily Allen this is done by a capital
letter font drawing in the future viewer. Everything else is in
smaller font suggesting that its not as important. Buzz: one Buzz
is chart heat attracting the younger audience. There are no puffs
for this magazine cover, representing the simplicity that the
magazine has to its potential audience. Foreground image: the
iconography is lily Allen, appealing to the younger audience as she
is an icon of the younger generation. She has a white top on
matching the a white headband, this contrasts with her black hair
up sand eye make up, this black and white is a original look
therefore shows the original information and genre of there
magazine. I think that the iconography of the music magazine has a
natural glow wearing little make up, I think that this is iconic
and it sets a good reputation for the magazine and sets a good
example to the younger audience. Camera angle: the angle of the
foreground image is up- close head shot, which is centre of the
magazine. Showing the viewer that the iconography is the most
important piece of the front cover and the magazine itself.
3. These puffs and call outs on this column advertise what is
in the magazine. The fact that they are advertising 4 icons and
more can show whether or not it will appeal to the reader. I like
the way there is a contrast of colour scheme by having the orange
and yellow, making it more eye catching to the reader with the
colours being brighter than the black and white, appealing to a fun
contrasting wide range you audience. There is a Call out at the
bottom of the magazine to appeal to the reader. The word plus draws
the reader in by telling them that there is information that isnt
options to be on the front but probably will influence and interest
them. Encouraging them to buy the magazine. The puffs along the
bottom with star symbols, are all different white and grey, these
colours complement each other therefore make them stand out to
their audience. Font is italic to make it stand out, relating it to
the word you Showing the audience that they can get involved in the
magazine. The foreground image consist of the mid shot of each band
member from a different distance, implying the importance that each
member has in the Medias eye. The lead singer, who is the main
subject for this music cover is slightly off centre and is leaning
forward whilst looking at the camera. The iconography of this cover
relates to the genre of music that the magazine is trying to
portray. We know this immediately by the colour cohesion of the
outfits that the band is wearing along with their make up being
black and white, this also therefore compliments the mast head,
making the magazine look professional. The mast head is quite a
bold font therefore stands out the colour cohesion of the black and
white shows how the magazine is simply, plain but effective. The
word Karrang itself is an onomatepia sounding like something
crashing into something else therefore represent the music that the
magazine includes being quite loud. The fact that the mast head
font has cuts through it and looks like smashed glass, showing the
audience that its quite an edgy magazine. Therefore I think the
mast head itself targets the younger audience due to the bold and
quirky qualitys it includes. The barcode is important to the reader
as it shows the general information for the magazine, educating the
audience.
4. The iconography of this magazine cover is Florence her self,
her make of the blue eye shadow I think symbolises her uniqueness.
her hair also cover the whole front cover of the magazine, meaning
there is no background, this is different to each magazine. Mast
Head: is in the corner in- front of the main image however not
blocking any over part of the magazine. The colour of the white
font with a red background is quite an iconic brand therefore will
grab the audiences attention. Puffs: there is only one puff and is
a contrast to the colour cohesion of the red and white. This grabs
the readers eye. The fact that there is only one stresses that the
magazine is consistent and simple. Buzz word gig grabs the readers
attention by the large and bold font. This also attracts younger
audience as they refer to concerts and festivals as gigs. The main
call out is Florence in a large bold font. This is the main text on
the front cover, it has been positioned at the top of the page so
that when a possible viewer passes by they see this as the mast
head, drawing in their attention and stating her importance in this
issue of the magazine. Colour cohesion is mainly shades of red and
white, I think that these colours are quite bold representing the
boldness of the magazine. However there are aspects of a light blue
in her make up puff and icons, the blue is a light colour,
representing that the magazine is light hearted, which is great for
the reader and escapism is one of the reasons for good media.
Criticism: this magazine has a strong fore ground image and font to
grab the readers attention, however does not consist of many puffs
to gain the readers attention to buy the magazine, if some one did
not like Zayn Low then they have no reason to buy the
magazine.
5. Mast head: the fore ground image of slashs hat is covering
the oll part of the rolling stones title, however due to this
magazine being successful, it doesnt effect the viewer, this
layering technique suggest that the subject in this image is more
important then the magazine Mise-en-scene: Slash seems to be
holding a guitar, this represents him to the reader as being a rock
star musician, the gold the colour of the guitar also links to the
colour of the mast head suggesting to a older audience due to the
colour cold suggesting classic and established stars. The hat and
glasses that he is wearing is an iconic look, showing the magazine
to be classic and established. There is a puff of Bruce which
stands out by a golden box, making it stand out to the reader, the
fact that its a golden box suggests that its the number one thing
to focus on. Camera angle: the iconography is slightly off centre,
using the rule of thirds technique, the editor has chosen to
include an mid long shot image. There is no text on the subject
image and follows the shape of his body due to the amount of text,
emphasising to the viewer the iconography of the magazine. Call
outs: the main call out is how to be a rock star attracts an
audience who enjoy this genre of music. Font: the style is
consistent however due all buzz words consist of a larger size then
the context as the bigger size will catch the viewers eye. Most of
the font is black however on the left hand side of the magazine the
font alternates to black and gold, I feel this makes the black
stand out more to grab the viewers attention
6. Use of numbers stand out due to the red colour, its
important for these are viewable next to the content so the reader
can find all of the information. Call out: there are three call
outs of band names, white and bold font standing out to the reader
that these are the main feature of the magazine. There are 4 images
on this contents page, the main iconography of the magazine is
Motely Crue, due to this being the largest image. Buzz word: the
main buzz word is Features. This is in a large font representing
that its the most important. A large amount of layering, from this
image to the main foreground image with a white border around it,
making it stand to to the reader. Contents is written at the top,
creating the title of the page. The text is the largest font and
boldest font this is slightly different from the title font as it
is grammatically correct. Criticisms: The page has been spilt into
sectors rather then clear columns this can suggest that its hard to
follow and for the reader to access all page numbers. Colour
cohesion: the main colour scheme on this cover is red white and
black, however this mainly on the text. The images have been edited
to gain parts of the colour cohesion however still consist of blue
and brown shades. Puff layered above the image, a black background
with a white font, this made it stand out above the image.
7. The title contents is the largest and boldest piece of text.
The font is very different to the rest of the page, by having gaps
in each letter, showing how articles are split in this magazine by
can be combined easy. Colour cohesion: Blue white and shades of
black are the main colours used. This links into the theme of the
magazine to be quite calm and pleasant. Rule of thirds have been
used to keep the iconography of the magazine off centre, there are
three main sections of this contents page, this is Clearly marked
out by the bold blue line. Unlike the rock magazine, everything is
neatly in line by the use of columns this shows the simplistic of
the magazine Clear use of numbers for each content, the most
importan useful
8. The gold colour could represent that it is the most
important and interesting part of the magazine. The fact it is such
an iconic colour will draw the readers attention to this,
encouraging them to buy the magazine. The red background is quite
bold there for contrast with the white text making it stand out.
The words Every Month shows the audience that it is a consistent
established brand giving them confidence. The layout is all in the
rule of three columns with the subject (the oasis foreground image)
being slightly off centre. Having this contents page all in columns
and different sections make it more organized and relaxed. This
represented to the audience that this magazine is relaxing and will
create a form of escapism. Appealing to a younger audience as it
shows that they can switch their brains off and enjoy without
having to do any thinking. Q contents is the mast head therefore
makes it more memorable however it is quite small and simple
showing that this is not the most important piece of information to
consume from this page. I feel this also shows that it is quite a
simple magazine. There is a contrast between the background colour/
heading on the mast head with the red and black. I think that this
colour scheme targets the younger audience as it shows they like to
be different, which is a new trend in society. Similar font used
throughout the contents page just different sizing show the
consistence in their information that is contained into the music
magazine A call out, which is a personal quote, giving the audience
an insight to what they are reading. I think that this helps appeal
the magazine to a younger audience as It shows that they are
talking about the oasis which is a band appealing to the younger
audience The colour cohesion is red black grey and white. These
colours consist in the text and the foreground image (the outfits
and sky.) I feel that this makes each important aspect stand out to
the least important aspect. I think that the red colour red
represents hot, therefore Q are playing on this colour to help them
appeal to a younger audience by showing that the magazines is hot
fresh and current.
9. The colour cohesion of these two pages is shades of black
and white with a stroke of her iconic red hair, I think that this
is supposed to help advertise Qs logo. The font of this magazine is
quite consistent, representing the quality of Q magazine delivering
consistence of their facts and figures. They use larger size of
fonts for the articles that they think the audience will be more
interested in. The foreground image for this music magazine double
page spread is Lana del Rey. The image is supposed to be very
seductive, with the use of hand gestures stroking her neck and her
eyes are closed which could also suggested she is in deep thought.
This therefore appeals to the male audience. Half of her face
appears to be cover by the edited blurred lights and another side
is shadowed away by her hair. Suggesting that the article could be
about her shining away from her fame life. This image is very large
taking up half of the double spread suggesting that the iconography
of this image is the main focus for the article. Subtitle heading
of the subjects name, emphasising the article to the audience.
Having the Q brand in the comer advertises that this Is not just a
magazine yet is a brand, encouraging the reader to look online for
Q Having a bold black large font of a single letter, shows the
boldness of the subject and magazine itself.
10. Colour cohesion being red white and black. The stick ton
this throughout the double page spread by having all the foreground
image in black and white. I think that the red is used top
complement all of the white text to make it stand out as these are
the most important parts to gain the readers attention due to them
being the main buzz words and call outs e.g NEW MCR Font is quite
similar to the Karrang mast head on the front cover, as it is bold
but got quite an edgy effect of it being worn away, which attracts
a younger audience to the magazine as it shows that a lot about the
music the band is releasing and giving them a sense of assurance
that nobody perfect, not karrang not even my chemical romance.
Buzz, showing that they have an opportunity that their magazine is
better due to the fact they have this article persuading people to
buy it. Images of the band members performing, none of which making
eye contact with the camera. All images take over one and a half
pages of the double page spread, showing that they are the most
important part of the page. Call out showing grabbing the audiences
eye making them stop and look at the page. The shape behind the
word news has a white out line and a black square. This contrast
with the red font, making it stand out more.
11. The font of bold & black of a single letter, shows the
boldness of the subject and magazine itself. Colour cohesion of
black white pink and grey is quite different to what is expected of
a rock magazine showing that the push boundaries
