What type of languagehave been used?
The language that has been used sounds very passionate about the subject in this case
music, also it seems like it’s been aimed at teenagers based on the wording used in the text.
How have theimages been composed?
The main images on front cover and double page seem to have been done as a photoshoot
as he is posing. Also these images have been edited to change the colours to change the
mood of the photo. Furthermore, the smaller photos look like they’ve been done just out
and about e.g. the one at a festival.
Is therecostume variety?
The costumes that have been used are very ordinary, they aren’t anything to bold and
extravagant this is highly to do with the mood of the magazine and the genre of music the
magazine is.
Is therevariety of font?
There isn’t a high amount of variety they have seemed to follow the same house style
throughout the only other type of text there is, is bolder and larger text type this is mainly
so they stand out and are used on sell lines and headings. They have used the same colours
all the way throughout to continue the house style.
What type of font?
This is a very bold and stand out font, and it’s very block type 2D text which fits with the
colour scheme they have used the same size for all the article texts and they keep it the
same on the contents and index.
What type of colours?
The colours that have been used here are black, white, red and yellow. These are quite low
key but are very noticble and not to bland and boring.
How is the genre evident?
The genre is very evident from the front cover as we see a list of bands so we suggest it’s
what type of music they create. Also on page 4 it says ‘future of indie music’ so we think it’s
about that.
Any issues of representation?
No there aren’tany issues as I can firmly tell what genre this is and what its
showing to the reader.
