2. Colour scheme:
the colour scheme used is the conventional black,
white and gold of a rock music magazine.
text:
The magazine uses informal language throughout.
This helps the audience relate to the magazine and to
attract a younger audience.
Font:
The same font is used for the heading and
subheadings as was used for the masthead. The font
has a distressed bold look which is stereotypical of a
rock/metal magazine. The rest of the text is in a sans
serif font making it easy to read and understand.
Images:
Half of the page is taken up with a image of a band
member crowd surfing. This helps creates a atmosphere and makes the reader feel
close to the action. The page also consists of many small images which are mostly
posed giving them a rock star look.
