Music Magazine-Analysis of Magazine-Front Cover-Genre Research

Now I have completed my research on genre through analysing bands. I am now moving onto my research on genre through analysing magazines. I will analyse three cover pages, three double page spreads and three contents pages.  I will be researching conventions throughout this genre that I will be able to follow and apply when creating my drafts. Below are my three cover pages for genre research:


 Analysis One



Analysis Two

Analysis Three

Through analysing these three components. I have learnt a lot about iconic attributes and conventions for magazines of the rock/metal genre. Some of these key features that I have learnt and will apply when creating my product are things such as; The broken effect used which resembles some of the songs within the genre, the use of many images which entices the audience of the magazine, a black and white colour scheme for the bass of it with bright colours coming through as this represents the music as quite dark and depressing but with a lively outset, have the person within images stare straight at the camera which draws the audience in and the use of big bold mastheads with the copy in capitals.
