2. Rap

The magazine name ‘VIBE’ is clear in the title.
The main target audience for this magazine would
be anyone who likes rappers or rap music, mainly
males as rap appeals more to that gender of music.
The colour theme of this magazine is white, with
red and black writing which really stands out,
contrasting the white background, but fitting in
well.
The musician on the front is Eminem. You can tell
he is a wrapper from his costuming, wearing a tank
top and a cross on a chain. It is simple but sends a
clear message to the audience he is a rapper.
The common features of this magazine is the fact
that there is one main image on the front,
indicating to the audience what the issue will be
about. The title is at the top in very large letters,
which is another common features of magazines.
The use of subtitles around the edge of the image
is a very common feature of magazines as it also
gives the reader more of an insight as to what is
inside the issue.
3. Pop

The magazine name ‘Top of the Pops’ is clear in the title in the
top left of the cover.
The main target audience for this magazine would be anyone
who likes pop artist Britney Spears or pop music in general but
mostly females as pop music will appeal more to that gender
of music. People may also look to Britney as a role model so
may also buy the magazine based on that fact.
The colour theme of this magazine is white/light purple
background, with dark purple, pink and white writing which
really stands out, contrasting the white background, but fitting
in well, however I do not feel this is professional enough for
what I am aiming to achieve.
The musician on the front is Britney Spears. You can tell she is
a pop artist from her costuming, wearing a pink dress with
one sleeve and the stereotypical pop star look, which is
blonde hair and make up. It is a simple look and sends a clear
message to the audience that she is a pop star.
The common features of this magazine is the fact that there is
one main image on the front, indicating to the audience what
the issue will be about. The title is at the top in very large
letters, which is another common features of magazines. The
use of subtitles around the edge of the image is a very
common feature of magazines as it also gives the reader more
of an insight as to what is inside the issue.
4. Heavy Metal

The magazine ‘HAMMER’ is clear in the title.
The main theme of this magazine is that the
cover is black, which although doesn’t sound
like a good contrast of grey/silver, works very
well.
The main target audience of this magazine could
be any gender of all ages but would be people
that enjoy heavy metal music.
The music artist on the front is the rhythm
guitarist of the band ‘slipknot’ and he is
portrayed as a scary character with a big close
up of his face, adding to the mask make him
look more scary.
The common features of the magazine are the
fact that there is one main image on the front,
indicating what the issue will be about. The title
is at the top in very large letters, which is
another common features of magazines.
Although there is a lack of sub titles around the
side, it will still appeal to the audience of people
who are fans of the band ‘slipknot’.
