2. Kerrang
The lead image conveys the attitude and genre of the band making
them look serious. They also have stereotypical odd clothes that go
well with the genre that their music is from. They are asp well known
in their outfits as they wear them on their tours, so people will know
who they are just through their clothes.
This article also uses
a pull quote that is
put at the top of the
page in bold and
bright colours which
correspond to the
band’s colour
scheme. It also fits
with the band as
their logo next to
the pull quote so
you cane easily tell
which bad it is. It
also has the name of
the band member
who said the quote
next to it.
This magazine also
has the use of “To
be continued…” to
make the readers
buy the next issue
so that they can
continue to read the
article.
This magazine also only contains writing on one side of the double page spread. This is so
that the picture can draw the most attention and also drag out the article so that the
readers have to buy two issues.
This magazine
contains a lot of
black plain and
bright colours. This
goes well with the
theme of the band
and their clothes
showing that they
“live” in a fantasy
world. This will
make the readers
want to live in this
world when they are
reading this
magazine.
The main photo on
this article has a
direct mode of
address. This is
because half of the
band members and
facing the reader.
However, half of
the band members
are not which also
shows that it
doesn’t have a
mode of address.
This, however, fits
with the genre of
being odd.

3. NME
This magazine has the use of a larger than normal first letter of each
section of the article. This will draw the readers attention to it making
them want to read it.
This magazine’s
lead image shows
that the attitude
of the band is
quite serious. This
would attract
anyone that
knows this band
would recognise
them instantly.
The font that is
used for the
main headline
of the article is
also very
sophisticated
like the
language inside
the article
itself. This will
also appeal to
a certain type
of audience.
This double page
spread also has a
very plain and
sophisticated
theme. This is
shown in the use
of greys, blacks
and whites. Also
the band
members are
wearing
plain, simpled
coloured clothing.
This article is also kept short and sweet and
takes up very little space. It is mainly made up of
the heading for the article and the band
members that are featured inside of it.
The tone used in this article is also very sophisticated
using quite formal language rather than taking the more
casual approach which will appeal to its target audience.

4. Q
Lady Gaga is featured wearing an outfit and posing in a way which
would entice readers which find the female form attractive. The
editors of the magazine have ensured that the article has some
arousing and sexual content as it sells well with people.
The medium
close up of Lady
Gaga featured on
the left hand side
of the double
page spread takes
up half of the
article, which
shows that the
article has
significance.
The photo has
been digitally
editied from
colour to
greyscale. This
means that the
whole double page
spread focuses
around three main
colours, white, bla
ck and red. These
colours are also
the anchor colours
of Q magazine.
Lady Gaga herself is presented to the audience as being multi-genred, as she
is well known for her pop music yet also being more than able to sway into a
more of a rockstar sort of role.
The
enlarged, vibrant,
red L which is
featured behind
the text links not
only to Lady
Gaga’s name but
also to the name
of the magazine
“Q” and it’s style.
There was no title
to this
magazine, only a
large red l in the
middle of the
page, a full A4
photograph of
the main focus
and her name
displayed in the
upper right hand
corner. This
intrigues the
reader as they
must reason to
find out exactly
what the article is
about and to find
out what
exclusive
information Q has
about the artist.
