1. The colour scheme for this genre magazine is
red as it anchors red, also it will stand out on
the shelf and it is very appealing. Red is the
main colour which anchors that target
audience can be anyone who enjoys rock
music. The other colours used helps contrast
the magazine to make things stand out which
contrasts well together, therefore this allows
me to indicate what colour I will be using-red
will be my main colour scheme to
anchor the genre rock.
The central image stands out and it uses direct address as this
engages the audience so I will be using a close up mid shot of
someone as this is what other rock magazines use. The mise-en-sene
anchors the genre therefore there is always red or black
used in the image as this connotes rock so I will be using a prop
which will show this.
Barcodes are used in all
magazines for the price and to
keep track of large number of
items in the store therefore it
will require me to apply it on
my magazine too.
Buzzwords are words like ‘FREE’ and ‘Excl usive’ and they are on the
strapline so I will be giving a free poster away with each magazine as the
will attract the audience with something new or free as this magazine
does and other magazines in general. The text is always bold, it contrast
from the page by using a different colour which will stand out as the
main goal is for the consumer to buy the magazine which will allow
them to enjoy something they like, which engages them the most.
However this magazine uses both these features as it uses ‘exclusive’
too which attracts the consumer of finding out something new relating
to music. It is usually featuring an artist or band (interview) therefore in
my magazine I will be using different bands with interviews, for example
with upcoming new bands.
The masthead is always
bold and unique in every
magazine so my
masthead will also be
similar to this masthead
as this contrasts from
everything on this page,
it stands out so the
consumer knows the
name of the magazine
and it will be very
noticeable from
everything else. The
genre of my magazine is
rock therefore red will
be used in my masthead
as used in this rock
magazine and it is also
the largest text on page.
The main coverline is only
slightly smaller than the
masthead, making it the
second largest piece of
text, making it look bold.
Also bright colours are
used and capital letters
are used in the main
coverline so it attracts the
consumer as it a very
important feature on a
magazine, it makes it
worthwhile to read and
want to buy. The colour
scheme colours a red,
black, white colour
scheme as this anchors
rock therefore I will be
using colours related to
rock too by the influence
from this rock magazine.
