two well. They have also used
coloured images where the
person looks serious which
creates a balance again. There
is a mixture of studio based
images and live concert
images. Concert images are

Some images are been posed
in and other are natural. With
the mixture of images this
shows all sides of the
magazine on just one page.
The larger images suggest Writing style – The writing is short and easy. They try to fit as much
that they are the main information about the magazine on these two pages. They tell the
important stories. reader what they want to know and where to find it. It is easy to read
as it is only small bits of information and they want it to appeal to
everyone.

poses and the amount of writing is what gives the magazine a serious element. However the images look
fun an interesting.

images than it does
writing. This makes the
reader interested in what is
going on in the magazine.
The images are the pages
that the reader are more
likely to turn to. They want

8. Colour scheme – They have carried on the colour scheme of black, white and red. They have carried on
the colour scheme through all the magazine as it creates an identity, it also relates to the genre of
magazine.
Photography – Some of
the poses that the band
are doing are natural and
some are not but these
looks relaxed and fun. We
get to see images of the
them recording in a studio
which is normal in this
genre of music magazine.
With the images been
taken in the studio it
makes us feel like we are
part of them making the
CD and have been given
privet access to it that no
one else can have. Other
images have been used of
different places which
breaks the page up and Writing style – The article is about their life as a band and their new
makes it a bit more album. They have used quotation marks when someone out of the band is
interesting. talking. It seems a bit more privet and serious as we don’t know what they
have asked the band we just get quotes.
9. Overall look – It looks fun but serious at the same time. It looks very natural which they want as they
are in a recording studio. With the colours of the images and what they are wearing makes the red
stand out on the page.
Text/picture ratio –
picture to text the ratio is
probably about 60 – 40.
The large images get the
readers attention, so they
are more likely to stop
and read the page. As
there is more images on
the page it breaks the
writing up so it makes the
reader think that there
isn’t as much text to read,
therefore they are more
likely to read the article.
There doesn’t seem like a
lot of text but it is
informative and well
written.
Fonts – The fonts are the same as the one they have used on the contents
page, this creates a magazine identity. They make the magazine look
formal which fits in with the magazines overall look to make it appeal to
their audience.
