use, develop or challenge forms and
conventions of real media products.

2. Front covers comparison
In my magazine I decided to have a
background picture with lots going on to show

in my magazine that the blander background
that Kerrang decided to use. The rang of Both magazines have a
colors used also make my magazine come very striking central
across more exciting in mine and other class image to grab audiences
mates opinions. attention immediately in a
idolizing way
The title in my magazine is
fully viewable in comparison
with the title of Kerrangs
which is partially hidden due

familiar with my title whereas
people only need to see part
of Kerrang to recognize who
the magazine company is.
Kerrangs website link is very small and hidden away, whereas I
made sure mine was more visible as I would have a larger online
audience and aswell as this as it’s a new magazine people may
want to check us out before they buy our magazine.

3. Contents comparison
I have gone for the commonly expected layout for a contents Unlike kerrang I have kept links of house style
page with text down the left hand side of the page and picture with the front cover by using the same font for
links t certain pages down the right, it looks more attractive with my contents that I used for my front cover
the colors used rather than the magazine on the right made by aswell as using my magazine symbol in the
kerrang which also looks very mess with the vast amounts of top corner aswell.
writing aswell as all the small pictures everywhere.
Kerrang’s magazine has striking
pictures on the contents to entice
people scanning through out the
magazine to buy it and read
further on, I did this buy using
action shots instead.
Similarly with my front cover I have
displayed my magazines website
link on the bottom of the page to
attract a larger audience online to
promote my product further

4. Double page spread comparison
In my magazine I decided to really exaggerate the name of the
band ‘Napoleon’ which my artist belongs too so that people know
what the main focus of what my story will be about.
Although I have not kept the house style colors I have kept the
symbol of my magazine in the corner so people still recognize it
is part of the same magazine and style. I didn’t use many colors
purely because me and many others of my peers agreed that it
suited the picture and text better in black rather than in color.
When comparing my magazine with other music magazines
generally most Dps’ have a main action picture of the person or
peoples the story is about as they do in mine on the left and the
magazine I compared to below.
I added a quote from their newest album cover which when
read really draws your attention to the story and makes
people want to read into the story to find out more about
this quote and what maybe this quote has to do with his
story.
Many Double page spreads in all varieties of magazines
will use a very small range of colors, in both mine and
the magazine I am comparing against there are only
three colors, black white and one other bright color.
This Is because the white text on the black background
really stands out and makes it really easy for the reader
to read and is very easy on the eye.
