1. This article suggests and is quite obvious
it is for a rock band and targets heavy
metal lovers. The language is very evil
and dark. E.G Words like blood and
vampire. This makes the whole page look
very aggressive and suits the band
genre. The colour red is used because it
is the colour of blood and is very relevant
to the content. Also, lots of black is used
and is typically a dark, evil, aggressive
colour.
The paragraphs under the picture are in a very small font and possible way too
much information for one page, so people would not want to read all of it. The title
is in all capital letters which stands out and attracts you attention, especially if you
are into this kind of music genre.
2. I Quote from the double page spread “
People think I’m an attention seeker, but
I’m just honest”. Which is trying to seek
attention by using all different size fonts
and spacing the letters unevenly apart.
The whole page looks attention seeking.
The picture is very clear and in good
lighting with her red checked shirt
standing out from the bright white
background.
Her hands are on her hips showing confidence and attracting attention. There is a
neat red, black and white colour scheme throughout the page. Even her clothes and
makeup are matching the colour scheme. There is lots of information at the bottom
of the page which could possibly be too much but it may appeal to the more formal
style of readers.
3. The main picture is a famous rock star
trying to look cool. This will help the
magazine sell as the title is about him
talking about style. The picture gives
you a idea of his style and makes you
want to look like him. The colour
scheme is black, white and pink. His
tattoos match the colour scheme and
make him look a lot tougher. It is rather
Unusual having pink in a magazine colour scheme unless it is aimed at teenage
girls. I think it works in this double page spread because it talking more about
fashion than rock music. also this page looks a bit camp or like something a
teenage girl would have pined up on their bedroom wall. The border of white
dots that look like small lights make him look more like a star and almost gives
the affect he is under the spot light.
4. What I learnt
• Have one big picture with the writing on and
around it instead of having lots of smaller
pictures.
• To have lots of information on the page
• Have a colour scheme
