This is my genre research Powerpoint.

1. Genre research.
By Eddie Cameron

2. The main image on the page show 4 men who are all
dressed in black clothing. This fits well with the genre
of the magazine as well as the target audience as it
mainly consists of dark colours. Also, from the photo,
we see that most of the band has long hair or a beard.
This represents the band in a rugged and rough way
and it automatically gives us an idea on how they are.
Also from the image we see the front man
pulling a weird look from his eyebrows. This
connotes that he is confused or intrigued. Its
almost like he didn’t know the photo-shoot was
happening, and this tell us that he doesn’t really
take the photo-shoot seriously
The pull quote as the title automatically gives us the target
audience as it contains words such as “alcohol” “drugs” and
“dodgy women”. We know that this was intended for an
older audience. The words “alcohol” “drugs” and “dodgy
women” are all in bold font so that they are emphasised.
Fitting well with
the main image on
the page, there is a
consistent colour
scheme of black
and white across
this article. This is
probably the house
theme of the
article hence why it
is carried over onto
this article.
The text on the page is laid-out in simple
column layout. This gives structure to the
article as well as order to the article. The text
being laid-out in this way makes the reader
feel like there is less text then there actually
is therefore making the article readable.

3. The main image of the
page represents the
target audience of the
magazine in a very good
way. It connotes
anarchy and chaos
which fits well with the
subject of the magazine
as well as the audience
of the magazine going
against the mainstream
culture and style.
There is a consistent theme of black
and white on this contents page but
there is a highlighted strip of red at
the top of the page stating that it is
the contents page. Along with the
this, the logo KERRANG!’s font has a
cracked glass font to it. This again
connotes anarchy and “breaking the
rules” which fits well with the
audience of the magazine and the
genre.
A personal note and
picture from the editor
of the magazine is a
typical convention of
most contents pages.
This brings the reader
and the editors of the
magazine closer on a
personal level due to
their being a personal
message.
Most contents pages will also have
the subscription offer on them.
KERRANG! Has offered theirs so that
they can engage with their
customers as well as keep their
sales.

4. Again, like the contents page,
the KERRANG! Logo has a
smashed glass font to it, which
connotes anarchy and chaos. It
fits well with their target
audience as they go against
mainstream society.
There is a consistent use of
exclamation throughout the front
cover. This tells us that each
subtitle that has this is aimed at
being emphasised and shouted.
This fits well with the genre of
the magazine with it being a loud
and aggressive genre.
The main image in the centre of the
page shows two singers from two
different magazines. The one at the
front is pointing forward which engages
with the reader because it as if he is
pointing them personally. Along with
this, he is raising one of his eyebrows
which indicates confusion or he is
intrigued. This shows that he is being
quite adventurous with his photoshoot.
The constant use of black and
white is not unheard of within
KERRANG! Magazine. However
on this front cover, there is use
of an electric blue and bright
pink. This is to highlight the
important information and
emphasis it. Normally the
subjects that are highlighted in
a bright colour are the ones
that the magazine deems the
most important.
