This is an analysis of the magazine Classic Rock, this is the contents page where they show all of the articles that are included in the magazine.

1. A photo of a very well-known rock band takes up
over half of the page. This photo will attract the
audience’s attention straight way. The colours
are dark and classic looking to show that the
band is a classic rock. The band members are
made to look moody and careless, this matches
the rock star theme that magazine is known for.
The colours of the magazineare kept
classic and mostly neutral. However, the
pop of red draws the reader’s attention
to certain parts of the magazine. Itis
likely that this band would also be on the
frontcover becauseit says in bright red
that they arethe cover story.
A puff is a typical
convention of a
magazine; it
draws the
reader’s
attention to a
specific article of
headline. In this
case it is an
interview and the
word “exclusive”
is used to make
the reader
believe that they
can only read
about it in this
issueof the
magazine so they
are more likely to
buy it.
The name of
each featured
artist in the
magazine is
written in bold;
this is so that
when they are
looking for a
specific article
to read they
can find it
easily. All of the
artists that are
included are
mostly rock
singers, this fits
into the rock
star theme of
the magazine.
The band name
is written in big,
bold letters so
that if the
audience do not
recognisethem
fromthe photo
they are more
likely to read
more about
them when they
know who they
are.
A small description of the photo is
included at the bottom to explain
the context of the photo. Here, is
explains that the photo was taken
in the 70s; this shows that the band
are still as well-known now as they
were then.
Another puff is used to advertise for
free tickets to a concert. This makes
the audience want to read moreif
they not that they can get something
for free. Italso makes the readers
become more involved in the
magazine becausethey will haveto
visit a website to sign up.
