The document describes the layout and design elements of various magazine covers. It explains that the Billboard magazine cover uses justified text to draw attention to the main image of Drake. The coverlines are in black and yellow to stand out from the desaturated background. The masthead uses multiple colors. The magazine cover of Alex Turner features a contrast between his dark clothing and the otherwise vibrant cover. It implies he likes to be different from others. The NME magazine contents page uses the traditional color palette and features artist images with their article page numbers.
Billboard
This document provides an analysis of the front cover, contents page, and a double page spread from Billboard magazine.
The front covers follow a consistent house style with the logo and masthead placement. Photos are usually close-ups of well-known artists to appeal to readers. Fonts are sans serif to look modern.
The contents page is well-organized with charts on the left and features on the right. It uses various font sizes and styles to attract readers. Images of artists are grouped together.
The double page spread features an article on Rihanna with her quote in hot pink font. Photos break up the text across three columns. Sans serif font and a pink/black/white color
Music Magazine Analysis
My magazine analysis for my A-Level Media Blog. I have analysed two Music magazines, Metal Hammer and Kerrang, I chose both of these magazines because my magazine will be focused on the same genre of music as these and both of the main articles were Slipknot.
Codes and conventions of Music Magazines
The document discusses the codes and conventions used in the front covers and contents pages of the music magazines NME and Kerrang. Some key conventions discussed include using bold, contrasting colors and fonts for mastheads and titles to make them stand out. Images are often used that directly address the reader and represent the genre of music. Band names and quotes are also used to attract different audiences and create intrigue. The layout and design elements remain consistent across issues to familiarize readers with the magazines' styles.
