MAGAZINE ANALYSIS

Q magazine analysis

The mastehead is bright and bold, which contrasts to the rest of the magazine as the other colour schemes are dark like black and grey. The mastehead of the magazine also counts for the logo of the magazine.

The sub headings and main heading are either black, white or grey which gives connotations of sophistication and class. this could show the target audience for the magazine, which from the technical features of the magazine shows that it is of the age 25-35.

Magazine Analysis

Our Magazine is called 'Rock Sound.' I could see this from the large masthead, which was at the top of the magazine. This was in a large white font. The font had cracks in it which showed the magazines gender was Rock. There is also a banner alongside the masthead saying, 'MINDLESS SELF INDULGENCE, THE AUTOMATIC.' This is in capitals, so it stands out to the readers. There are two graphics. One saying, 'FREE CD.' The Other saying, '3 AWESOME SLIPKNOT GIANT POSTERS' These are all in yellow, which is the only bright colour on the magazine. This maybe because the magazine wants the readers attention on this text. The main cover line of the magazine is 'TRIVIUM EXPOSED.' This is in a different font from the masthead. The font belongs to the group 'Trivium', so it gives the reader a picture of what kind of music the group produces. This magazine is aimed at Males over the age of 18. This magazine may also be especially read by Goths and Emos.
