Text: The title of the article is very bold with the conventional colours of black and white, the
writing used again is very rebellious due to the fact that it is the story of the artists, therefore this
may be why certain capitals are used for certain letters. The font used is similar to that used on a
ransom note, therefore this may contribute to her story. Some of the most important text is in red
which matches the artists shirt and also the writer of the article is red so that it stands out from the
other text. The article its self is justified into columns in order to make it easier for the audience to
read, also as I mentioned before regarding other magazines, the beginning of the article starts with
a bold capital letter.




  Image: Similarly to most magazines the image is justified to the right hand side, and is cut away
  and placed onto a background. She is not doing a particular rocky pose, she is just natural.
  However she is wearing quite dark eye make up and is wearing a red baggy lumber jack shirt.
  The facial expression in which she's is pulling ‘’I’m not bothered’’ obviously illustrates what the
  article is about. Her hair is slightly messed but straightened over her face to show her rebellious
  personality. She also has her hands on her hips to create a stern look to reinforce her
  personality traits.

The text is justified to the left hand side of this page, however it is in an unusual format as the
image takes up some of this page too. This means that the amount of text in which they are
obviously going to use is restricted. The title of this article is very bold and larger than the rest of
the text, I would presume that the font would link with the artists CD cover or merchandise as it
is different to NME’s master head. Also main quotations and key points within the text, including
the first letter of the article are in blue, so that the audience can easily pick out this information.
The actual article itself follows traditional conventions of a magazine as it is justified and
paragraphed into columns.




The image as I mentioned above is very large on this double page spread as it take up the whole of
the left page, but it also overlaps onto the second page, resulting in the amount of text being less,
this is probably down to the target audience, as they would prefer to look at the image rather than
read the interview, also it would attract a less educated audience as there would be less to read. The
image itself is of the band, including there instruments, they are not posing as such, just looking
straight at the camera, which makes it seem as if they are looking straight to the audience.
Therefore people who like this band would really like how clear and large the image actually is.

The text is justified to the left hand side of the magazine, the title is larger than the rest of
   the text which is conventional, and it is in a similar font to the master head. The main text
   within the article is in blue, which obviously links to the artists however this is unknown as
   there is no obvious link to the image. Similarly to other magazines the first letter of the
   article is larger than the rest of the text.




The main image is justified to the right hand side of the magazine, however the image slightly
overlaps onto the right hand side of the magazine, with a small text box of information on top of
the image. Differently to other magazines this image has not been cut away and put onto a plain
background, this magazine has the scene of a street in order to make it more realistic. The artist
within the image also looks as if he is hitch hiking, which could relate to some members of the
audience. The only piece of colour which is on the right hand side of this magazine is the main
caption of the article, and this is yellow in order to link with the main master head and
background of the front page of the magazine.

The genre of this magazine is pop, this is obvious through the logo that has been created and the colour scheme used and in particular the popular artist included as the main image . It is a very in your face magazine as the colours are very bright which means it is conventional and ideal for the target audience of females.
  • 2. This is the main cover story and therefore the main article of We Love Pop, as you can see the main Similarly to the front cover, the same colours are used cover line is very bold and in your (pink white black and yellow) this therefore shows that face so that it is easier to read, also there is a consistency through all of ‘’We Love Pop’s’’ it seems as if the main cover line is magazine. Also on the second page, Cher Lloyd has her quoted therefore this suggests that own section for her name; this has her own style, as it the main article will be full of has a diamond above it so this will therefore, co link gossip, which stereotypically girls with her album (synergy) will love. Again the main colours of pink and black are used the same as the magazines logo. This is the main article, as you can see the beginning of the Main image: This image is of Cher Lloyd another article begins with a larger letter, which is conventional for popular artist, her fame was through the hit show most texts not only magazines but novels too. The questions the x factor, therefore the female audience can asked to Cher are in pink so that the text is split apart and somewhat relate to her lifestyle choices. The easier for the audience to read and pick out the most costume used for this artist shows a little flesh interesting parts they would like to read, an image is also however the female audience would be able to purchase these items and imitate her look. The included in the middle of the article to illustrate the life of main prop in which she uses is a camera which Cher better and so that the audience can visualise what the again the majority of the target audience would article is saying. Also another conventional thing that is used already currently have. Another thing in what at the bottom of this page is the page number as this is used makes Cher different is the fact that she has many in all magazines and the online version of the article is also tattoos on her arms, for parents this may be quite stated in the fonts which are used for the main cover line on negative due to the fact that young girls aspire to be like her. the front page.

The theme colours that Kerrang always use are white Main image: yellow and the main black. image is of an Cover line artist within the main rock, he seems cover line is as if he had in the same been playing in type of concert as he fonts as the still has is master guitar. head, it is also in the Other articles: same colour some of the so that it articles are in links, it green which states the obviously links artists this to the artists magazine is name they are focusing on. justified to the left.

It also gives the products. audience. connotations that the magazine is giving the audience more, compared to its competition
  • 8. Text: The title of the article is very bold with the conventional colours of black and white, the writing used again is very rebellious due to the fact that it is the story of the artists, therefore this may be why certain capitals are used for certain letters. The font used is similar to that used on a ransom note, therefore this may contribute to her story. Some of the most important text is in red which matches the artists shirt and also the writer of the article is red so that it stands out from the other text. The article its self is justified into columns in order to make it easier for the audience to read, also as I mentioned before regarding other magazines, the beginning of the article starts with a bold capital letter. Image: Similarly to most magazines the image is justified to the right hand side, and is cut away and placed onto a background. She is not doing a particular rocky pose, she is just natural. However she is wearing quite dark eye make up and is wearing a red baggy lumber jack shirt. The facial expression in which she's is pulling ‘’I’m not bothered’’ obviously illustrates what the article is about. Her hair is slightly messed but straightened over her face to show her rebellious personality. She also has her hands on her hips to create a stern look to reinforce her personality traits.
  • 9. This contents page is in an unusual layout it is Split into Master head is in the top two, top to bottom whereas left corner of the other content pages are split magazine, however it is into columns, I think that this is yellow, so that it stands because the magazine is being out from the darker extra rebellious. background. Also on the first The top half of the half of the magazine is artist contents there focused, therefore are Previews of it shows the what articles that are the magazine is also going to be mainly going to be included in the based on. magazine Justified on There is also a the right Banner separating hand side of the two the bottom sections, in which half of the the master head is magazine is also included. the Editors note, image and Included signature in the this gives bottom the half of the magazine a contents personal are the view from Different the editor pages himself.

  • 10. Master head the master head of this The main image has been cut onto a magazine is again always consistent in bright blue background, this is to the same block font, however the brighten the magazine, but to also make colour may change depending on the the artist look more appealing as the background colour of the magazine. red colour of his hair clashes with the blue. Other articles on Other cover the let hand lines, these side are in a are justified different to the right, colour to in white to those on the link with the right this master head, therefore be these articles a more may link with important the main article artists from my chemical romance, The Free posters they are also would attract the justified audience as they toward the would get the top of the impression ha page so that they were going the artists to get something face is not out of the covered. magazine after the read The Main cover line The Alternative again is in images justified white linking down the left with the other hand side are in articles and a banner sort of the master format, they head, this show a preview Also included underneath the main cover then makes of the free line is a Quotation this is from the main the magazine things in which article quoted from the main artist, link together. the audience however due to the fact it is on the front The main are going to cover it can also be seen as gossip as it is cover line is have. revealing parts of this artists life and it also bold and can be questionable of how much of it is in the same actually true as the editor would try to type of font as make the magazine as entertaining as the master possible. head
  • 11. The text is justified to the left hand side of this page, however it is in an unusual format as the image takes up some of this page too. This means that the amount of text in which they are obviously going to use is restricted. The title of this article is very bold and larger than the rest of the text, I would presume that the font would link with the artists CD cover or merchandise as it is different to NME’s master head. Also main quotations and key points within the text, including the first letter of the article are in blue, so that the audience can easily pick out this information. The actual article itself follows traditional conventions of a magazine as it is justified and paragraphed into columns. The image as I mentioned above is very large on this double page spread as it take up the whole of the left page, but it also overlaps onto the second page, resulting in the amount of text being less, this is probably down to the target audience, as they would prefer to look at the image rather than read the interview, also it would attract a less educated audience as there would be less to read. The image itself is of the band, including there instruments, they are not posing as such, just looking straight at the camera, which makes it seem as if they are looking straight to the audience. Therefore people who like this band would really like how clear and large the image actually is.
  • 12. Banner The Master head and main cover line at the top index: of this magazine is in a box out in order to make included the fonts easier to read and more vibrant. The within this master head and main cover line fonts do not magazine is a change through the pages list of all the bands that are included within the magazine, this is very The contents different to page is also most Sectioned, magazines and each therefore this section is is a unique sub thing in headlined, in which this the same magazine font as the does, I think cover line an element and they are of each band also in box included on out in order the list for to make that week them easier would have a to read. page number next to it so that the audience could find it, it is also in alphabetical order.

  • 13.
  • 14. Image: the image again is justified to the left, and cutaway onto a plain background, in this case black in order to show the image more effectively. The artist looks very casual, he is wearing a plain white t shirt with a yellow and black cap in order to look very realistic. He has no facial expression, however he is blowing smoke through his noes and his mouth, therefore this shows us the edgy side of the artist. The colour of the artists cap links to the colour of the logo on the right side of the double page spread.
  • 15. The Gradient Background for this contents page is used, in order to make the background of the magazine more engaging to the audience, the background The Master head links also with the colour of the artists has been split into dress and the colour of her shoes. three parts, I think that this is an effective way of making the contents title more engaging for the intended audience, it is very simplistic however The Main it works with the Article background, the overview is font is the same as also justified to the main Vibe the left of the master head so artist, separate again the house from the other style links. information so that it is more accessible.

The rest of the contents then continue onto the bottom right The main article is hand side of the separated with a page. box out, and a competition, this obviously draws the audience into the magazine, The main image is in a sepia effect, this is most likely because the magazine is very old, she has had her The text also has a wider line hair done and lots of make up so that spacing than most magazines she looks glamorous also, the pose in and its justified into the centre which she is doing is like a half smile, of the column. looking straight toward the audience.
  • 17. The text is justified to the left hand side of the magazine, the title is larger than the rest of the text which is conventional, and it is in a similar font to the master head. The main text within the article is in blue, which obviously links to the artists however this is unknown as there is no obvious link to the image. Similarly to other magazines the first letter of the article is larger than the rest of the text. The main image is justified to the right hand side of the magazine, however the image slightly overlaps onto the right hand side of the magazine, with a small text box of information on top of the image. Differently to other magazines this image has not been cut away and put onto a plain background, this magazine has the scene of a street in order to make it more realistic. The artist within the image also looks as if he is hitch hiking, which could relate to some members of the audience. The only piece of colour which is on the right hand side of this magazine is the main caption of the article, and this is yellow in order to link with the main master head and background of the front page of the magazine.
  • 18. There is also a second article included The main image covers three quarters of the page and it is in a however this is black and white effect, it shows racial equality as at this time this significantly smaller was a massive issue. that the first this only covers a quarter of the page, the title is in a bright pint colour and the image is also in colour two to ensure that the article stands out from the The main cover background. lines for each article are in similar fonts to the main master head and in black to ensure that they stand pout from the body of the text, obviously Underneath the the headings second article is are also in bold the actual and very large contents in which so that they page numbers are easier to and the main see articles are included in bold the page numbers are included in pink so that they stand out from the background and link with the title This seems to be the main article of the The page numbers magazine as it is the biggest and has the for this magazine most space, the text is justified to the are very large for left and seems to continue onto the two main another page articles, so that they are easier to jump to .
