1. Pop punk genre
This magazine is mainly aimed at teenagers or young adults in the C, B and even A
class of people. I can tell this because the magazine looks professionally edited and
uses a wide range of universal themes in order to entice the audience. Another reason
I can tell this is for a higher class of people is because the price £2.50 which is a higher
price to pay for than your typical magazine which would not cost more than 70p. The
key signifiers are Josh Dunn and Tyler Joseph from the popular band twenty one
pilots. People can recognize them easily because they have unique style and
recognizable facial features. The cross over the “O” Is a recognizable logo from the
band and is their signature branding point. They use sub images of other popular
artists and free posters that draw in the audience as they would want a poster of their
favourite artist or band. Another was they draw in the audience is through the use of
colour and font. Black white, red and yellow are all very dark and bright colours that
contrast against each other. However yellow is less predominantly used, meaning that
it will pop out a lot more against the other aspects of the magazine. The two main
images overlap the heading of the magazine, showing that they are important and the
magazines title is well known and recognizable. The sub titles have small labels
underneath have buzz words like “chaos” and ”anxiety”. These words usually have
negative connotations meaning the reader will be interested as they want to know
about negative things famous people have gone through to make themselves feel
better about their current state.
