Magazine analysis

Magazine Analysis
By Abigail Downes

From my magazine research I have decided I am going to design
and create a heavy metal magazine which will focus on Death
metal and Slam.
Therefore my next step is to analyse magazines of a similar genre
to pick up the conventions of the magazines, the type of cover
lines they have, how the magazines is set up including the front
cover and contents page, what type of language they use- formal
or informal? Colloquial? As well as colour schemes, mise-en-scene
so how the bands are presented- Studio shots or performing shots.
From this analysis it will help me to know what makes a successful
magazine so I can start to design my magazine making it appealing
to the Heavy Metal community.

Layout
Uses a simple layout with 4 cover lines in the bottom
right third of the magazine. This simple layout gives a
sophisticated style indicating this is a monthly
magazine. Also due to the small number of stories it
suggests every story will be detailed and in depth, this
will attract true metal fans which want to keep up to
date with what is happening in their community.
Masthead
Covers a third of the cover, it uses a very style aisled
sans serif font, it is has connotations of violence and
destruction representing the genre of Heavy Metal.
This will therefore attract Heavy Metal fans. Also we
can tell from the fact that the band is put in front of
the mast head that “TERRORIZER” is a well known
brand as some of the masthead can be hidden and
the audience will still know what it is and buy it.
Pug & Freebie
This stands out on the front cover in order to draw in the audiences attention and through
offering a freebie I may persuade them to buy the magazine because they feel they are gaining
out something out of purchasing the magazine and also makes the company different and unique
compared to other competitors. This is therefore the Unique Selling point (USP) of the magazine.
Buzzword
The use of “plus” makes the reader feel involved
and that the magazine is packed with information
attracting Heavy Metal fans which want to gain a
lot of information about what is going on.
Barcode
A common convention used on the
front cover in order for the consumer
to purchase the media product.
Subheadings
Powerful subheadings are used such as “Raging” and
“Gruesome” all representations of the genre which will
interest and draw in the audiences attention . Also the
White large writing contrasts the black background
making the writing stand out.
Colour Scheme
Uses only two colours- Black and White, it gives a low
saturated effect. This makes the magazine seem
professional and relates to the target audience as they
are simple, dark colours which Heavy Metal Fans like.
Main Cover line
Semantic field of violence relates to the article
attracting fans of violence metal. Large sans serif
font ‘NAILS’ will attract their fans or fans of
violence metal therefore they will buy the
magazine because of the band.
Main Image
Dark image which overlays the masthead connoting
the band is powerful and important. Also due to the
front man being in the foreground it makes it seem
like he is popping out the magazine creating an
exciting image which will draw the audiences
attention it does this by following the rule of three.
Plug in the right hand corner
Gives an extra insight into what is included in the issue
and generates more readership as some people may not
like the main band but they may like the artist in the
plug. It also makes the magazine seem packed full of
stories.

Mise-en-scene- lighting
It has low key lighting with chiaroscuro tying in with the genre conventions of Doom and violence metal creating a threatening image which will appeal to
the fans of Doom Metal. The colours used are black and white to follow the representations of male.
Mise-en-scene- Characters
The front cover uses a medium-long shot of the trio band “Nails”. There are two characters at the back and one at the front connoting he is the foreman of
the band. The non-verbal codes of the actors are aggression this is highlighted through the foreman’s fists being clenched. And the member of the left at
the back has tattoos this also connotes rebellion which are key representations of the Heavy Metal genre.
Mise-en-scene- Dress Code
The dress code of the band is casual. It consists mainly of black, however every member is wearing a different T-shirt, each having a different band logo on
connoting they are passionate about their music. Also people where T-shirts of bands they like and normally they make similar music to what they listen
to, therefore it will attract some audience members because they like the bands they are wearing so will buy the magazine to learn about the band also
they feel they can relate to the band as they enjoy the same music.
Mise-en-scene- Location
Characters are in a worn down place this is shown through the dusty and dirty windows and the faded grey walls however the beige light coming through
the windows creates a contrast between the back ground and the band making the band stand out and seem significant.
Mise-en-scene- Camera work
Eye line angled medium long shot connotes aggression a key theme of Heavy Metal.
Bulmer and Katz – Uses and Gratification Model
By talking about a variety of bands it helps develop the audiences music taste and widen their band knowledge this helps their personal identity. Also by
giving free CDs it accommodates diversion as well because they will be listening to music escaping everyday life.

Layout
Simple layout using only 3 photos and the contents
written in columns gives a sophisticated feel to the
page, with a variety of pictures used it shows the
magazine is diverse. And the page is also split into
two,: Regulars and Features this makes the magazine
easy to navigate.
Pictures
The pictures included are a studio shot of a band but the
image is edited so it makes it unique and eye catching.
The second is an action shot of a member of electric
wizard playing guitar this will interest fans of electric
Wizard. And finally is a niche image which only true fans
will understand but also it will intrigue the people which
don’t know what it means so it will interest a variety of
people making them read the article. All pictures include
a white 3D border making the photos stand out.
Subheadings
The use of subheadings makes the magazine easy to
navigate and they can clearly see what the magazine
involves. ‘Features’ are specific to this issue making
the articles seem unique, it also makes the reader
feel special for being able to read these features.
Structure
Through the use of the main image the contents
page seems structured because the first two man
line up with the first column and the second column
joins with the third and fourth man, this makes the
magazine seem neat and organised.
Background
The background colour is black this creates a border
affect around the photos and columns making them
stand out to the audience.
Page Number
The page number allows the audience to go to that article instantly also due to the
fact it is one of the main images on the contents page it highlights it is very
important and makes it more noticeable to the audience.
Masthead
There is no masthead on this contents page this shows the magazine is well known because it
doesn’t need the masthead as people have already bought it and invested into it. Instead they just
have ‘Contents’ this for navigation of the magazine.
Issue Number
The issue number is shown at the bottom so the
audience know what issue they are about to buy also if
they collect them they will know if they have any
missing.
Subheading Images
The images are sub-headed to show what the
band are this creates interest within the reader
because if the reader is interested in them but
doesn’t know about them then they will take
action and read the article.

Mise-en-scene- lighting
High key lighting is used in the main image to draw attention to the image and create a bright appealing page.
From the corner image on the right, the bright lights shining down on the guitarist connote talent, this will interest aspiring musicians in the heavy
metal community.
Musicians wear informal, casual clothes. The main image every musician is wearing a plain black T-shirt and black jeans however every musician’s jeans
are slightly different therefore the black T-shirts denote synergy within the band and how they are connected and together with a passion for music
however the variety in jeans show individuality and that everyone has a different role within the band.
Shots are taken in the studio this is a common convention for band shots because the lighting and atmosphere can be controlled creating a mood which
represents the genre.
Uses a variety of photos to make the magazine appear interesting and exciting, this includes a variety of camera shots, the main image is a long, eye
level shot, the eye level angle makes the reader connect with the band because they are on the same level. The shot of the electric Wizard guitarist is an
action shot and will interest the reader because he is playing the guitar and Electric Wizard are well respected for their talented therefore aspiring
musician’s will read the article. Also the lights in the background make the image eye catching so the reader will notice the page but also incorporates
enigma codes because from the image it isn’t clear about what the article is therefore the reader will go to the article to finds out therefore it creates
mystery and excitement.
A magazine must incorporate a variety of articles to accommodate a variety of readers for example interviews help surveillance because they like to
know what’s going on.

Synergy within language
Layout
A range of photos at different angles with a white
border make the images stand out and the six
photos used make the article look interesting and
engaging.
Sub-headed text makes the article easy to read, the
questions are in red and the responses are in black.
Header
The large header taking up one quarter
of the page attracts the audience with a
serif font with an artistic eroded style
with splattered paint connoting action.
“News from the Frontline” has
connotations that they are on the edge
of the action like soldiers on the
frontline, therefore it is the latest news
about all the action. This makes the
audience feel important because they
are getting the best possible
information.
Pull Quote
This gives an insight into what the
article is about and attracts attention
from the audience.
Background
Themed background with mesh and
paint along with bullets used to border
the header and some text. This makes
the page aesthetically pleasing and
creates synergy within the title and
background creating connotations of
violence and danger, representations
of the Heavy Metal genre.
Structure
Text is arranged into three columns with
then a photo in each column apart from
the middle one, this follows the column
convention. However then there are two
large photos at the top of the page,
photos are meant to fit into the columns
making the page look clear and
organised however they have not
followed this convention and carried on
not doing it as they then have four
columns of bullets points, this goes away
from the column convention to represent
the heavy metal music because they are
rebellious and deviate from convention.
Design Balance
This article is not balanced because on the left there is only a pull
quote and introductory paragraph then on the right there is a whole
interview.
Design Principle
This article follows Gutenburg’s design
principle because the header and main
image is placed in the primary optical
area this is the first place the reader sees,
the principle is further followed because
in the strong fallow area there is a lot of
text meaning the reader will read the
article.

Mise-en-scene- Lighting
The main image uses high-key lighting to highlight the band members faces against the black background. The rest of the images
have a black and white tone to represent the gritty, real-life studio atmosphere.
The members in the main image are represented as strong and masculine this is shown through the non-verbal codes of
aggression connoted through the front mans stance; arms crossed with tattoos.
Plain black clothing represents the heavy metal genre connoting darkness and violence. Also alongside the use of blocking the two
members of the band at the front have a design on their T-shirt making them more eye catching than the other two members
revealing they are more important.
The main image is a studio shot so lighting could be controlled to convey the menacing shadowing effect but also there are action
shots of ‘Sepultura’ in the studio so the audience can feel they are connected to the band and feel that they have an insight into
their life.
The main image is a medium-long shot of four band members. The front man of the band is clear through his dominant position in
the image. The fact his arms are crossed connotes that he has the most authority in the band. Unlike the other members you can
see the front mans arms highlighting his muscles and tattoos connoting he is strong this a key theme of heavy metal. The main
image also has a slight low angle shot making the band seem even more powerful another key theme of the heavy metal genre.
There are then 5 other images which use a variety of shots to show the process of producing a song in the studio.
This magazine article fulfils diversion from the Bulmer and Katz uses and gratifications model because it helps people escape from
reality letting them focus on other things for example in this article the reader focuses on ‘Sepultura’s’ new album.

Barcode
A common convention used on the front cover in order
for the consumer to purchase the media product.
Mast head
Uses a bold black font with stylized points on the ‘H’ and ‘R’
makes the font more unique and to suit the heavy metal genre
as lots of band logos are also highly stylized. The ‘metal’ is
then transformed into the stand of the ‘H’ This makes the
Masthead simple and fit easily in one line across the magazine.
The solid fill of the black font makes the masthead stand out
amongst the background. Also the fact ‘James Hetfields’ head
is covering most of the masthead it denotes the magazine is
ionic and popular because it doesn’t need to have it’s masthead
showing for people to buy the magazine. The title ‘Metal
Hammer’ has clear connotations of the heavy metal genre,
making a clear connection to ‘metal’ and then ‘hammer’ has
connotations of violence and strength which are key themes of
the heavy metal genre.
Pug
The use of a rectangle yellow pug but on a
slanted angle makes it bold and stand out
against the plain grey background. “2 free
gifts” are used to draw in the audience. The
use of “2” is used as an emphasiser to
exaggerate the great freebie.
Background
Has a faded grey background with dark grey
cover lines on in various font styles, sizes and
boldness, however light colours which are not
vibrant are used so they do not detract attention
from the main image of ‘James Hetfield’ and
Metallica. The main story of the magazine and
also one the biggest bands in metal.
Main cover line
Uses Metallica’s logo to get the fans attention,
the logo takes up one quarter of the front cover
connoting the band is very important. Uses a
white font, to contrast James Hetfields black top.
Then in smaller writing, but still bold “48 hours
with the world’s biggest band” This will draw in
the audience because they will want to know
exclusive information about the band and see
what they do. Also “worlds” and “biggest” will
draw in people who like to know the latest and
best information.
Footer
Used to highlight more about what is
in the magazine, to draw in a wider
audience. Black and white is used
again to create a contrast so the
articles stand out.
Main Splash Image
The main image is a medium-close up of James Hetfield who is
the main musician in Metallica, this will attract fans of Metallica
and James Hetfield. There slight use of Chiascuro because his
cheek is darkly shaded however the rest of his face is
illuminated, this creates a cheek bone effect making him look
powerful and threatening this relates to the heavy metal genre
and the fact his band is ‘the worlds biggest band’.
Stylised Text box
The text box is filled with a dark grey sold
fill with text fitted around inside it and is
the shape of a guitar plectrum this
therefore will interest musicians.

High key lighting is used to show James Hetfields face so fans can buy the magazine because he is featured.
There is only one image which is a medium-close up and it takes up most of the cover this highlights how much of an major
character he is and the fact that there are no other images on the cover page shows how he is the most important thing.
Furthermore James Hetlfield has been placed in front of the background instead of being placed into again, signifying he is the
most important person and so the audience is drawn to him.
The dress code is simple because of the fact the image is only a medium-close up, from what can be seen though it is just a plain
black T-shirt, this shows he isn’t into fashion and also the audience are not interested in what he wears, only about his music.
The main image is a studio image, because the lighting has been adjusted and he has then been cut and placed in front of the
background.
The main splash image is a medium-close up with direct eye level this means the image will create eye contact with the audience
making them seem more involved.
The main article story helps with diversion because they can immerse themselves into Metallica therefore they forget about
reality.

writing, a column of pictures and a column for
the Editor. This makes the magazine easy to read
and make it look organised so it is aesthetically
pleasing.
Header
‘contents’ is bigger than the magazine logo
because it draws attention to the header making
the magazine easy to navigate. ‘contents’ has a
gothic sans serif font representing the Metal
genre because it has connotations of darkness
and gothicness. The plain black colour makes the
header bold and contrast the paper like
background.
Background

dark worn lines in the right top corner and
down the left margin which could represent

of the magazine this is shown through the big bold colours
and headers in the boxes these will draw attention.

main medieval style font, then
a simpler font for smaller text.
This makes the page look
more professional.
Pictures

wide range of articles and to make the page
look aesthetically pleasing. With around 10

of the square images making her stand out even more.

Low key and high key lighting is used for a variety of shots and to convey certain emotions.
A variety of characters are involved in the images, this shows makes the magazine desirable to a wide audience because the
magazine includes a variety of artists and articles, this is quickly shown through the photos.
Mainly there is an informal feel to the characters dress because they all were basic clothes such as jeans and a T-shirt. Apart
from the woman which is pale skinned and then wearing a black bra this contrasts her making the bra stand out and also
draws attention to her so she stands out.
Two photos are taken from a live gig this will interest fans of the band because they could be touring soon or reviewing
the current tour as well as backstage news. The rest of the shots are studio shots.
A variety of shots are used, to convey certain emotions and to show certain things off. There is a medium-long shot of a
guitarist to highlight he is playing the guitar and a low angle is used to connote power implying he is a brilliant guitarist

has.

aesthetically pleasing.
Images
Dark image of a band draws interest from

Layout
Textboxes are used to create a clear
professional layout. The textboxes
are white to contrast the black
background making the page look
appealing to the audience and it
makes the text stand out so the

Columns
Columns are used in the layout of the contents page to arrange the pages
logically also as the page is using subheadings it makes the sub categories

columns as well as the main image because that can be split equally in the
middle and where it could split the split between the text boxes are making
it fit in line with the boxes helping to create a clear aesthetically pleasing
layout.

All three images have dark lighting to connote danger and to be intimidating key themes of the heavy metal
genre.
A variety of bands are mentioned on the contents page to address a wide audience. Three band photos were used
so the page looked appealing but not too clustered and messy because the demographic of this magazine is for
adults therefore needs to have a mature professional layout.
Mise-en-scene- Dress Code and Props
The main image has cloaked figures this creates religious connotations with the name of the band “Rotting

Main Image

power and influence creating the
impression the character is very
good at something. The page is
about art and the tattoos are
clearly defined showing
masculinity and art. The
background also becomes lighter
around this main character
creating godly effect like a spot
light furthermore inferring he Is
important.
Background
The purple background is
unisex attracting both a
female and male audience,
using different shades of
purple it creates an
intricate pattern drawing
the readers attention to
the page.
Images
A variety of images are used to
highlight the artists skills. Each
image at a different angle,
position and shot this highlights
the artists talent because he can
draw a variety of things.
Design Balance
This article is not balanced because
on the left there is only a pull quote
in the top right corner of the first
page and then on the right there is
the whole article.
Layout
Text is arranged into three
columns with an introductory
paragraph at the top. There are
two images in these columns
drawing the readers attention to
the columns and then four images
at the bottom, these do not fit into
the columns making the article
look interesting. This layout is
organised and aesthetically
pleasing.

The lighting used on the main character is high key this attracts attention to his face suggesting he is important.
Also the use of the background being lighter around him gives him a shining effect connoting he is important and
talented.
The main character is alone with no background round him on the image this is so there are no distractions
highlighting how important his is.
Mise-en-scene- Dress Code and Props
The character wears casual clothing consisting of grey t-shirt, black under top and jeans. This shows it is his
talent which is important not his clothing, this is why he also doesn’t have a prop this is so there is no distractions
the audience must focus on him.
There is no location on this image. This is again is so there is no distractions around him highlighting how
important this character is.
The main image is a medium shot with a low angle connoting the character is power this is further shown through
him looking down creating a sense of superiority. The rest of the images are all different angles and positions to
highlight the artists skills

Reflection
From this magazine analysis I have learnt that for my
magazine to be successful within the Heavy Metal genre it
must include lots of images with a variety of shots and
angles all connoting power, danger and darkness. A key to
this will be the lighting, many of the images featured will
have low key lighting or chiaroscuro.
Secondly for two page spread articles a few images are
included with text but often there is a main image. Also
lots of the headers and backgrounds are highly stylised to
connote the meaning of the article, this is done to draw
attention.
Thirdly for the contents page the articles are often
arranged into sub-categories and include lots of images to
be eye catching.
