The double page spread in NME Magazine summarizes The Strokes' garage rock style and their role in sparking the 2000s indie rock revival. Stylistically, the article uses an informal, conversational tone and references other bands to position The Strokes within indie rock history. Visually, it employs a color scheme of black, white, and red with rock font styles and casual photos of the band, reflecting NME's target audience of informed indie music fans.
Media Masthead Analysis
The document analyzes magazine mastheads from Rolling Stone, Kerrang!, and NME magazines. It notes that Rolling Stone uses a large serif font masthead in red to stand out, while Kerrang! uses a cracked font matching the magazine's genre. NME sometimes matches its blocky masthead colors to cover photos, making it look sophisticated and recognizable even when partially covered.
Second front cover, kerrang
The magazine cover features the Foo Fighters lead singer looking moody in a red top against an urban background. The large white masthead "KERRANG" takes up almost a fifth of the page to clearly identify the magazine's rock music genre. Additional rock bands are listed in the footer to promote other artists featured inside. The methods used to attract the target audience of 16-25 year old rock fans include a prominent masthead in high contrast colors and an attention-grabbing cover image of a recognizable rock star.
Font analysis
The document discusses two potential font options for the title of a magazine called Symbal. The first font discussed has large, blocky letters with square outlines and a simplistic, futuristic style along with scratched lettering, representing a combination of new and classic artists. However, it could also represent electronic or dark genres which are not the focus of Symbal. The second font discussed is a "Crackvetica" style with cracked, sans serif letters resembling the bold title styles of magazines like NME that influence Symbal, representing loud, rock-oriented music. However, it bears some similarity to Kerrang! which Symbal does not want to be associated with due to their different focuses.
AS Media Coursework: Formal Proposal.
Connor proposes a magazine titled "OutBreak" focused on modern rock music. The name suggests popularity and spread like an infection. The target audience is primarily white British males aged 15-19 who enjoy rock music. For the cover, Connor plans to use caution tape and a hazmat symbol to incorporate a quarantine theme. The contents page will list articles in an organized but messy layout fitting the theme. The double page spread will also follow the theme but may need to be adjusted to feature artists. Connor has permission to photograph models posing as two bands to represent articles, including a rare female duo, at locations around campus and outdoors capturing a spooky atmosphere.

The document summarizes key design elements of a magazine contents page targeted towards teenagers interested in rock and punk music. It notes that the use of yellow and black colors connote danger and link to darker themes in the music. Images of skulls, alcohol bottles, and an "offie bored" give ideas of interests like the paranormal that the target audience may have. The layout contains minimal text in columns for easy reading and uses the rule of thirds to draw attention to a model's face with an angry expression, suggesting teenagers are violent and linking to how the music is portrayed. Page numbers are embedded in the text to save space. A punny caption on a picture shows informal language will be used to engage the target adolescent audience

Task 5 media
- 1. Summary of the three analyses of music magazines Conventions of from Kerrang is conventional to form as it has a very simple and memorable masthead which is situated across the top of the magazine. The main story is always written in a contrasting colour across the middle of the magazine. They also use a large image on the front which is normally of a popular band or artist. They also all follow the route of the eye. They also use the same kind of large and blocky fonts, this is as it is most suited to their target audience. Conventions of genre The magazine is conventional t the genre rock first off by using dark, rich colours such as blacks and reds, this is obviously associated with the darkness of rock. The artists featured are always styles in a very dark, gothic, intimidating way which is a convention of rock. They use serif, block font which is bold and in your face similar to the genre rock. The way kerrang is written is the same throughout so gives Kerrang a good brand identity the broken glass effect is conventional to genre as it connotes violence something rock is stereotypically linked with. Mode of address The general mode of address of the magazine is informal, I know this because the double page spreads and other stories use slang and address the user in a laid back fashion this is because the teenage target audience will relate to this kind of writing. Use of technical elements There are various technical elements carried out in the magazine kerrang. One of them is the type of shot, the majority of the images are either close ups or medium close ups, this is probably so the reader can identify the artist at first glance. They alter the font in proportion to how big the story is for example a main story is bigger than a side story.
