1. The masthead
Kerrange has always used the
same headboard and title since
it’s creation with a combination
of jagged letter and cracked
affect this suits its rebellious
content and audience.
Audience:
Male
Between 14-21
Preferred genre: punk rock/ pop
rock
Colour scheme: Black read then
any other very bright colour to
contrast e.g. Red or yellowThe model/artist.
Billie Joe Armstrong is the lead
singer of the popular Band
Greenday. He is known throughout
this genre and so is instantly
recognisable. His stance is suggesting
of a rebellious nature with the hand
pistol and the face he is making, his
clothes are black which is related
back to the audience as their theme
colour.
The Tag lines used follow
the colour scheme of Black,
with contrasting red and
yellow to stand out from
the back drop.
With the language of “Rock
harder” and “ultimate
review” this relates to the
extremist side of this
individualist community
who would purchase this
magazine.
Whilst is have also mentioned that
the audience is very young, there is
always an older element
surrounding rock, which can be seen
in the iron maiden sticker at the
bottom.
The colour scheme represents a
chaotic idea that has flashes of
colour that represent a form of
uprising and rebellion.
2. The Masthead title of Classic rock has
been written in white with a black
background. This is reflecting upon
the idea that Classic rock is an old
genre and a the black and white
connote a classical and old feel
around it.
The black and white image of the
rolling stones guitarist also gives this
aging feel around this iconic classical
image. His stance suggests confidence
that the audience would like to relate
to.
The golden writing (Rolling stones)
represents a successful state, also in
general this comes with age, another
reference back to the idea that this is
a classical and original magazine.
Audience: Male
16-40
Fans of classical rock e.g. queen, rolling
stones, ACDC ect.
Clothing: similar to punk rock black is a
feature colour, although leather jackets
might make more common
appearances.
The tag lines are very mild coloured
gray and that once again reflects this
classical and iconic image.
It uses famous quotes in order to
impress the readers who would
appreciate the quotes.
The colour scheme is very well designed
as it relates to the age of the magazine.
It also means that this magazine contains
old and successful content, such as very
well selling albums.
3. Once again A Classic Rock magazine, the
Mast head is the same and so has the
same meaning behind it.
This specific issue of the magazine
has a Golden title that Relates back
to the idea of aging and success.
The image here of the band member
from Metallica, is not taken in black and
white like the photo from the other
cover, rather this photo has been taken
in sepia. This is clearly another age
indication and something that the
Classic rock fans appreciate greatly.
Audience: Male
16-40
Fans of classical rock e.g. queen, rolling
stones, ACDC ect.
Clothing: similar to punk rock black is a
feature colour, although leather jackets
might make more common
appearances.
The colour scheme is very well designed
as it relates to the age of the magazine.
It also means that this magazine
contains old and successful content,
such as very well selling albums.
The tag lines are only featured in the
bottom third of the magazine, working
with the rule of thirds. This is so that it
is the image that is featuring in the
magazine, which is important when
the band is as legendarily iconic as
Metallica (the font of the title, also
being the font always used with the
band)
