Draft 4
MEDIA STUDIES AQA GCSE: Unit 2: ASSIGNMENT ONE: MAGAZINE ANALYSIS Draft
3:
Masthead: The masthead connotes the genre conventions of the magazine. The typeface
is sans serif and looks like it has almost been scratched and damaged. The
smashed look fits into the genre of rock. The typeface is all in capitals,
which dominates the page. The colour of the masthead is white this stands out
against the main colour of black on the page. It is very jagged and doesn’t
look clean which connotes the genre of rock music. The stereotype of person
would be into the jagged rough look, which is reflecting the masthead. The
masthead is slightly hidden behind the photo of the artist. This shows that the
magazine is so famous that it doesn’t need to be seen. The target audience will
already be aware that the magazine is around for them to and their genre of
music so they don’t need to identify what magazine they are reading.
Banner: The banner fits in with the rest of the magazine as it uses the same
colours that are also featured on the page (white and red). These colours
contrast the rest of the page. It is very simple as this makes it easier to
read. It has been placed at the top of the magazine. When the reader looks at
the page in a z-path it’s the first thing they will read. It will attract
the secondary audience that may not be interested in the main story line but
the other stories that feature inside.
Colour Palette: the colour palette uses mainly black which has
connotations of power, death, fear and mystery. Power relates to the magazine
content of rock music since rock music is very powerful in the industry, which
attracts the target audience. The target audience can identify the colours and
relate them to their own lives. The green stands out against all the black and
also relates to the magazine content ‘Green Day’. All the important articles
and interviews that are inside the magazine are in green to stand out to the
secondary audience, which may not like the main feature in the magazine. Red
has also been used in the same way.
Images: The main image is a medium shot it shows three men with fake scared
shocked impressions on their faces. They are all dressed in back leather, which
is exactly like the genre of the music and the magazine, which will appeal to
the target audience. The picture has good lighting, which is good because it
would be too dark if it there weren’t good lighting it would be too dark. The
image really engages with the target audience as the bands are looking directly
into the camera wanting to catch your eye. The minor images are all also images
of bands form the same genre. These images attract the target audience since
they are into rock/punk bands.
Teasers: All the images have teasers (cover lines) that revel
more about the stories in the magazine. The language in mainly formal but the
language ‘Sex! Saturn! Skeletons!’ is very specific to the genre of rock since
rock is associated with sex, drugs etc. This would definitely intrigue the
target audience and reflects the content of the magazine. The colours used are
in the main green colour, which is used for the main headline. This will
attract your attention as it may also contain some important information.
Side quote: ‘We’ve made the album of our lives’. This attracts the audience by telling
you what will be in the magazine. This one says that Green Day our going to be
talking about their new album. It uses the main font so it doesn’t make the
page look to busy.
Other features: the cover also features a bar code, issue number,
price and date. They are placed in the bottom left, which is last place we read
when we scan the page. The sizes of the words are tiny. This suggests that they
are irrelevant or they are trying to hide them like the price.
Target audience: The main readers are 85% female, attend school and have a low income. Only 14% of the target audience are boys since the magazine is aimed at girls. The age range of the target audience is 11-15 years. The physiographic profile is mainstream. The most popular music artists are used to attract the target audience who follow the trends.
The mastheadThe
masthead in this magazine really fits the target audience of girls from the age
of 10 to 16. Using a sans serif font in a bright bold orange colour really
appeal to the younger audience since they will look for bright colours that pop
over black and white, monotone more mature colours. Using sans serif will
appeal to the teenage audience since they don’t have much concern for
smart-looking writing, as it is not a formal magazine. I know this from looking
at the magazine content. The connotations of the bright orange are joy,
sunshine and happiness. To the human eye, orange is a hot colour, so it’s
giving off the sensation of heat. This will make the target audience think of
holidays and times they are the most happy which will hopefully subconsciously
persuade them to buy the magazine. Stars are surrounding the masthead; they
have done this to draw your attention to it so you look straight at the
masthead and not the sub headings. Positioning the masthead over the model and
not behind suggests that the name of the magazine is more important than the
model herself. This makes the masthead dominate the whole magazine. Colour PaletteOrange
and blue is the main colour palette. These two colour contrast each other
nicely brightening up the page. The colours being so bright are linked to
excitement; confidence and intelligence this is making the target audience
subconsciously want to pick up the magazine. Like I said above orange is a
colour of heat, happiness, warmth and the tropics where as blue symbolizes
trust, loyalty, wisdom and confidence. The two colours balance each other out
since they both have very different meanings; this is good as they work well
together on the page. The target audience will be attracted to this colour
scheme since they are young the orange brings them happiness but blue brings
them self-confidence and independence which they will look for. Although the
colours used aren’t stereotypically girly colours like pink they are still
quite feminine which suggests that they are aimed at girls. Top of the pops is
very different to Kerrang as it uses more playful vibrant colours compared to
the dark mysterious colours of Kerrang. In terms of content Kerrang is a rock
music magazine with a very different with way of addressing the target
audience.
Layout
The layout is cramped with barely any blank space. The subheadings are clearly displayed down the left hand side, with the headline story (singer) filling the majority of the page. This really connotes the magazine content, which is full of teen celebrity stories. This layout represents the target audience, as it is quite cluttered and busy like the teenage mind. The magazine follows the z-path shape, which is the way we look at a page. The designer has positioned the title across the top of the magazine so we read it first we then scan across the main story to the side stories then finally to the less interesting stories along the bottom that may attract the secondary audience to (teenage girls that are into different genre conventions) buy the magazine. ImagesThere
is no mistake that the magazine is aimed at the teenage girl audience by the
obvious plastering of stories about teenage boys. The main image of a singer is
a close-up/medium shot which relates to the headline title ‘all eyes on Rita’.
There are little clothes displayed on the celebrity but a lot of jewelry, which
would definitely attract the target audience, as they will have just started
wearing a lot of jewelry. Lighting will have been used when taking this picture
it is very bright and eye-catching but blends in well with the colour scheme.
No props have been used which adds simplicity to the magazine. If there were
props it may appear over cluttered. The main image attracts the target audience
since she is smiling and directly addressing the audience with a simple hand of
the chin. There is about 13 minor images on the cover all showing the same close-up
shots with all the people smiling all looking directly into the camera. This
will attract the target audience since a smiling face is relatable and
inviting. The minor images are all celebrities and are classified as teenage
heartthrob. This suggests that the genre of the magazine is to do with music,
as all the images are pop singers.TeasersAll
the images have teasers and cover lines to reveal more about the stories in the
magazine. The language is very young with lots of modern slang words like ‘A-list
looks in seconds ♯selfie’. The language is very
informal which appeals to the target audience as they use these words in their
everyday language; this lets the target audience know that the magazine is for
them. The only punctuation used is the in the main plug ‘All eyes on Rita!’
This draws your attention to the fact that it’s the main headline.
Words and content: The text used on the front cover informs the reader
what content is in the magazine. It contains celebrity fashion, body image,
beauty advice, these things help the audience identify with the magazine and
learn more about themselves. The celebrities are big role modes and the target audiences
are going to aspire to be them so they need to be given the right image that
isn’t misleading. Posters chart information, quizzes, song lyrics and a lot of
music artists such as 5 seconds of summer, Conner Maynard and the Vamps are
used to entertain and make social interactions with the audience. Putting
quizzes in the magazine give the audience a place to escape from their daily
lives. All of the content in the magazine is aimed at the target audience of
teenage girls, as all of the stories are relatable to the target audience. The
language used is informal and the fonts they have chosen to use are easy to
read.
Other featuresA
barcode, issue number, price and date are all featured but are all tiny. This
is because the target audience will find this is not important at all so there
is little point in making them big. Text
used identifies personally with the characters and situations in order to learn
more about themselves. The magazine also entertains by using a range of variety
of well-constructed texts. The magazine has made itself a talking point for
social interaction and also gives teenage girls an escape from their daily
grind into other worlds and situations.
Layout: The layout is crammed at the
bottom and quite simple in the top half. This connotes both target and
secondary audience the cluttered section for the people with messy minds and the
simple section for people who like simplicity. It also follows the z-path of
how the target audience will view the page.
Top of the pops was realised in 1995 to present. It was released after he TV show was aired
and focuses on celebrity pop. It is published every month for the target
audience to buy.

MEDIA STUDIES AQA GCSE: Unit 2: ASSIGNMENT ONE: MAGAZINE ANALYSIS
The cover of the magazine, it’s making people buy it by
using codes and conventions. I will look at how the cover of Kerrang magazine
is addressing the audience using codes and conventions.
Target audience: Looking
at the cover as a whole I would say that the target audience are fans of rock
and indie music. The target audience must like reading about music especially
rock. Stereotypically the target audience would be male for many reasons one
being the lack of women present and the dark masculine colours. The readers will
be around the age or 18-25 years old. They will have a disposable income so
will be able to afford magazines for themselves spending an average of £200 a year
on albums from the rock genre. They would be hard-core fans and are more likely
to attend a rock concert than the average person. The target audience would be
British as Kerrang is a magazine originating from Britain. The target audience
would be the band merchandise as they are very loyal to rock. They would wear
the stereotypical clothing of black and rough looking clothes.
Masthead: The
masthead connotes the genre conventions of the magazine. The typeface is sans
serif and looks like it has almost been scratched and damaged. The smashed look
fits into the genre of rock. The typeface is all in capitals, which dominates
the page. The colour of the masthead is white this stands out against the main
colour of black on the page. It is very jagged and doesn’t look clean which
connotes the genre of rock music. The stereotype of person would be into the
jagged rough look, which is reflecting the masthead. The masthead is slightly
hidden behind the photo of the artist. This shows that the magazine is so
famous that it doesn’t need to be seen. The target audience will already be
aware that the magazine is around for them to and their genre of music so they
don’t need to identify what magazine they are reading.
Banner: The
banner fits in with the rest of the magazine as it uses the same colours that
are also featured on the page (white and red). These colours contrast the rest
of the page. It is very simple as this makes it easier to read. It has been
placed at the top of the magazine. When the reader looks at the page in a
z-path it’s the first thing they will read.
It will attract the secondary audience that may not be interested in the
main story line but the other stories that feature inside.
Colour
Pallette: the colour pallette uses mainly black which has connotations of
power, death, fear and mystery. Power relates to the magazine content of rock
music since rock music is very powerful in the industry, which attracts the
target audience. The target audience can identify the colours and relate them
to their own lives. The green stands out against all the black and also relates
to the magazine content ‘Green Day’. All the important articles and interviews
that are inside the magazine are in green to stand out to the secondary
audience, which may not like the main feature in the magazine. Red has also
been used in the same way.
Images: The main image is a medium shot
it shows three men with fake scared shocked impressions on their faces. They
are all dressed in back leather, which is exactly like the genre of the music
and the magazine, which will appeal to the target audience. The picture has
good lighting, which is good because it would be too dark if it there wasn’t
good lighting it would be too dark. The image really engages the target
audience as the band are looking directly into the camera wanting to catch your
eye. The minor images are all also images of bands form the same genre. These
images attract the target audience since they are into rock/punk bands.
Teasers: All the images have teasers (cover lines)
that revel more about the stories in the magazine. The language in mainly
formal but the language ‘Sex! Saturn! Skeletons!’ is very specific to the genre
of rock since rock is associated with sex, drugs etc. This would definitely
intrigue the target audience and reflects the content of the magazine. The
colours used are in the main green colour, which is used for the main headline.
This will attract your attention as it may also contain some important
information.
Side quote: ‘We’ve
made the album of our lives’. This attracts the audience by telling you what
will be in the magazine. This one says that Green Day our going to be talking
about their new album. It uses the main font so it doesn’t make the page look
to busy.
Other features: the
cover also features a bar code, issue number, price and date. They are placed
in the bottom left, which is last place we read when we scan the page. The
sizes of the words are tiny. This suggests that they are irrelevant or they are
trying to hide them like the price.
Target audience: The
main readers are 85% female, attend school and have a low income. Only 14% of
the target audience are boys since the magazine is aimed at girls. The age
range of the target audience is 11-15 years. The physiographic profile is mainstream. The most popular music
artists are used to attract the target audience who follow the trends.
The masthead
The masthead in this magazine really fits the target
audience, which are girls from the age of 10 to 16. Using a sans serif font in
a bright bold orange colour really appeal to the younger audience since they
will look for bright colours that pop over black and white, monotone more
mature colours. Using sans serif will appeal to the teenage audience since they
don’t have much concern for smart-looking writing, as it is not a formal
magazine. I know this from looking at the magazine content. The connotations of
the bright orange are joy, sunshine and happiness. To the human eye, orange is
a hot colour, so it’s giving off the sensation of heat. This will make the
target audience think of holidays and times they are the most happy which will
hopefully subconsciously persuade them to buy the magazine. Stars are
surrounding the masthead; they have done this to draw your attention to it so
you look straight at the masthead and not the sub headings. Positioning the
masthead over the model and not behind suggests that the name of the magazine
is more important than the model herself. This makes the masthead dominate the
whole magazine.
Colour Pallette
Orange and blue is the main colour pallette. These two
colour contrast each other nicely brightening up the page. The colours being so
bright are linked to excitement; confidence and intelligence this is making the
target audience subconsciously want to pick up the magazine. Like I said above
orange is a colour of heat, happiness, warmth and the tropics where as blue
symbolizes trust, loyalty, wisdom and confidence. The two colours balance each
other out since they both have very different meanings; this is good as they
work well together on the page. The target audience will be attracted to this
colour scheme since they are young the orange brings them happiness but blue
brings them self-confidence and independence which they will look for. Although
the colours used aren’t stereotypically girly colours like pink they are still
quite feminine which suggests that they are aimed at girls. Top of the pops is
very different to Kerrang as it uses more playful vibrant colours compared to
the dark mysterious colours of Kerrang. In terms of content Kerrang is a rock
music magazine with a very different with way of addressing the target
audience.

Images
There is no mistake that the magazine is aimed at the
teenage girl audience by the obvious plastering of stories about teenage boys.
The main image of a singer is a close-up/medium shot which relates to the
headline title ‘all eyes on Rita’. There are little clothes displayed on the
celebrity but a lot of jewellery, which would definitely attract the target
audience, as they will have just started wearing a lot of jewellery. Lighting
will have been used when taking this picture it is very bright and eye-catching

Masthead: The

very jagged and doesn’t look clean which connotes the genre of rock music. The
