2. The three magazines I have chosen to analyse are Kerrang, Teen Vogue
and We Pop. The reason for this choice is because they are all
different. Kerrang is for a completely different genre of music than what
I'm going for, but I want to take ideas from all three magazines so my
magazine is unique. The reason I bought teen vogue is because I like the
front cover and how it is set out. I want to take ideas form this and make
my front cover something like teen vogue. And We Pop is my genre
so I can take ideas from this, and pick and choose what I like.
3. The front cover of this magazine shows the
audience straight away what genre of music it is
centred around. The masthead is a normal font
with cracks through it which automatically attracts
the audience as this magazine is known to feature
more rock orientated artists and bands. Kerrang
always change the colour of their font to fit in with
the general colour scheme, which although may
flow better, the masthead doesn't stand out so
much to the audience, due to everything being
colour co-ordinated.
I like the way the masthead goes behind the image, because it makes the image stand
out more, but still draws attention to the masthead. The main image on the front cover
is very appealing to girls who are into this genre of music and find these two men
attractive, but also its telling us that bring me the horizon and lostprophets team up
and are going on tour together, which is what the main image is telling. The two men
in the image are the lead singers of both bands. And its Great for all the
teenagers/adults that are into these bands and are into the genre of music.
4. The cover lines on the front cover of this magazine are pretty tame.
On the front cover of this
magazine there is a lot of free
giveaways, which is posters of the
newest and most popular bands
There are only 4 cover lines
including the main image and its
cover line. Which personally I
don't think is enough and I don't
think there very interesting.
5. The target audience for this magazine would primarily be teenagers
mainly those 16+ and also those in their 20’s. Some of its audience
would be around their 30’s, the same age as the people featured in
the magazine. You can tell that the target audience is mainly teenagers
because the bands featured in this magazine have got mainly teenage
fans, and also the title itself appeals to teenagers and people in their
late 20’s, the design of it is edgy which appeals to them. From the
front cover we can only see that their interests are mainstream rock
groups.
The contents page in kerrang is very simple but really effective. I like
the fact that they have the masthead at the top of the page to keep it
going. The main image on the contents page is of a give away. And I
like the way the page numbers are listed down the right hand side.
Under different headings too, which makes it different from other
magazines. The colours on the contents page are mainly red, yellow
and black. But on the front cover there was a lot of blue. I think it
would have been more effective if they had incorporated blue in the
contents page. The imagery they have used is quite plain and simple
but it works, because it links in with the genre of music this magazine is
and it links in with the giveaway. I would have done some things
differently if it was my magazine purely because I would have used
more images and less writing. And brought the colour scheme over
from the front page.
6. The double page spread is about a man
called Mitch Lucker. He was very
passionate about music and his fans, he
did everything for all the right reasons.
This Double page spread is very well put
together. The main colours are black and
white and the colours are linked very
well to the type of story it is.
The text has been broken up into 2
columns, and then the central column is
a tribute to Mitch which is a really nice
way of putting it. It stands out from the
rest of the page.
The double page spread is half image based but half written based. Which personally
is the best way to have it. Because its equal and not one sided. The font is just serif
which is just plain but it looks good white writing on top of a black background.
7. Teen vogue is a magazine about anything and
everything, this is not specific to music because i
wanted to do a range of different magazines. The layout
on this magazine is my favourite I like that you can see
the whole image and that the cover lines are at the
sides it looks very sophisticated. The masthead teen
vogue is simple but eye catching. In its bold font on
‘teen’ in bright red but in a bold sophisticated font. The
slim font of ‘Vogue’ may attract the smaller target
audience. The red and light blue masthead brings out
the innocence in Teen vogue.
The central image is a medium shot of Demi Lovato. The way in which she is taking the
photo suggests that she has something to tell, which will attract the attention of the
audience. I like the colour scheme on this front cover its all red, light blue, black and
white. The blue in Demi Lovato’s hair stands out and draws attention to the magazine.
8. These are all the cover lines in
this magazine. Its all mainly
about fashion and celebrities. As
you can see from the main
image on the front cover.
Every magazine has a give away, or
competition. This one is very popular
for teenagers and young adults,
every girl would love to win this. A
lot of teenagers/young adults would
enter this.
9. The target audience for this magazine could be for children going on to teens
ages 10-17. There are cover lines telling us about fashion. These cover lines
suggest that the audience should get the latest trends. On the other hand
young teens may want this magazine just to see the pictures of the
accessories.
The contents page is spread over three pages, which is completely different
to the way kerrang done there contents page. I like the way that there is a
main image on each of the contents pages. Sections of the magazine are
clearly laid out, its easy to read and perfect for teenagers. Also the page
numbers are clearly marked so its easy for the reader to read. Bold fonts are
used to highlight each article which is useful for the reader because it stands
out and draws attention to it.
10. We love pop is a music magazine featuring artists from
the genre of pop it is aimed at a female teenage
readership between the ages of 13-15.
As shown in the masthead we love pop features, gossip,
fashion and boys, this attracts the target audience as it
reflects aspects of their life styles that they seek more
information on. The we love pop masthead is slanted
given it an edgy unconventional look, reflecting it’s a
new magazine and is aimed at a younger audience.
However it maintains conventions by staying on the left-
hand side using the same font style each issue however
changing colour accordingly to the colour scheme.
The colour scheme of blue, pink, black and white give the magazine a sophisticated look
as the colours are coordinated with the main image, furthermore the pink adds a touch
of femenity reflecting the target audience. The front cover looks very full, there is no
space for anything else, it is very busy. Also the main image instantly attracts girls all
over the country because it is one direction.
11. These are all the cover lines
on the front cover of the
magazine, all very interesting,
and all to do with the genre
pop, because it is all based
on pop artists, what is going
on in the music industry and
just general pop artist gossip.
On the front cover, there are no free giveaways,
but throughout the magazine there are posters
that you cut out and keep. That’s all young girls
want.
12. In this contents page taken from ‘We Love Pop’ the
colour schemed used is a bright red, sky blue and a little
yellow. These colours are fresh, bright and bold reflecting
the youthful readership. We love pop’ maintain their
brand identity by using their logo on the contents page in
the right hand corner of the page, moreover the font
used for each title and the main body of text remains the
same throughout the magazine helping to establish a
signature look. The main title used for the contents page
is ‘We love this’ rephrasing the name of the magazine to
the contents title of the magazine. This is the largest
piece of text and is in a bold font, as it sets the tone of
what the page entitles.
Each issue the editor of ‘We Love Pop’ writes a letter addressing the readers talking
about the making of that particular issue, it is worded in a using friendly
conversational tone using direct address towards the reader making the reader feel
personally involved in the magazine, the editors signature is even added at the end
to make the letter feel more realistic. The contents page features a text box with the
sub-heading of ‘Inside this month’ listing all other features within the magazine and
the page numbers. This simple layout makes it easy for the reader to find the main
features of the magazine and look for any other features.
13. This double page spread is of
Cody Simpson. Which will attract
all the young females. I like how it
is half image orientated and half
information for the reader. The
blue colour scheme links in with
the front cover, and it is really
effective how the masthead is
carried out throughout the whole
magazine. I also like how a quote
of what Cody said in the interview
is highlighted in a blue bubble to
make it stand out.
This double page spread is very feminine because its centered around one good looking
15 year old. That’s made it far in America and in England at such a young age. With an
amazing voice that’s going to get him very far in the music industry.
