This document analyzes the content page of a magazine. It summarizes that the target audience is people aged 15-22 who are into rock/indie rock music, as evidenced by the bands and artists featured like Arctic Monkeys. The primary optical area drawing the eye is the large red box highlighting what's inside the magazine. Imagery of bands like Arctic Monkeys and Lily Allen reflect the genre focus. The house style uses red, white, and black colors in a cluttered informal layout to appeal to male readers.

3. Evaluation
These two magazines have a lot of similarities and differences. One of the similarities between them is that the main colours on both
of the content pages is red, this may have been used because they stand out on the page and it is very eye catching. Another
similarity is that they have a lot of images on the content page of who is featured in the magazine which shows which type of music
magazines they are and who the audience may like to see. Finally the both target the same people who are into the same type of
music which is rock/Indie rock.
