Target Audiance of my Magazine

I believe, from my research, that the main target audience of my magazine would be people who are aged 14-25. This is because this is the main age range of people who listen to the genere of music that my magazine is about. The main social stereo-types who would read my magazine is "emo" "punk" and "mosher". This is because these stereo-types are knows for listening to the type of music that my magazine will be about. The social main social class who would be reading my magazine is c1, c2 and b. This is because these classes aren't very high classes and the magazine will be Farly cheap.

Double Page Spread Analysis 1

Language: The language used in this double page spread would be mainly informative language as the article is telling us about the band. But despite it being informative, it would still stick with its aggressive and threating language as the magazine is about rock and metal music.

Institution:  Again, we know that the magazine is an commercial magazine as it is advertising their website in the top left corner, and by the looks of it in the top right corner it is advertising subscribing to their magazine. It is also helping to advertise the bands tour by naming all the UK tour dates.

Ideology: The main ideology of this double page spread is to talk about the band Five Finger Death Punch and tell the audience why they are one of the best new bands on the metal scene. Again it is also raising awareness of Metal as a whole.

Audience: It is a clear cut audience here, the main audience of this double page spread would be fans of the band, or people who are looking for new music to listen to and find this band interesting.

Representation: The color scheme of the double page spread is red, black and gray. This is to relate with the music genre that the band is. The name of the band is in big, bold, red font so that if you are flicking through the pages it will easily catch your eye. In the main picture, the front man of the band has been placed in front of all his band mates to show that he is the main man. The picture was also placed on the street to show that they are rough people. Furthermore, it is slight discolored. 

Contents analys 3

Language: In contrast to the other magazines that i have wrote about, this magazine is less aggressive so it uses much more calmer language. Take for example where it says "He's just showing off" it is much more calmer that other magazines. This is because of the type of music that the magazine reviews. Its more Indie, light rock and pop.

Institution: The magazine, just like the other magazines i have wrote about, is a commercial magazine, this is because it is still in it to make money. Also we get the idea because of in the top left hand corner it shows the "Q" logo. It also adversities the "Q" magazine website.

Ideology: The ideology is to advertise and review indie, light rock and pop music. The people who are interested in this music would be much more main-stream that the other magazines i have wrote about.

Audience: The audience would be a much wider audience that the other magazines, i would say from about 13-35. This is because the music that is in this magazine is main stream music and has many more fans than the other magazines i have wrote about.

Representation: The colour scheme of the magazine is much more bright that the other magazines i have wrote about as the magazine has a more easy tone to it. The main image just shows a band that is in a casual state of mind on a grassy hill. This would be to show how easy going the band is. Also, the font in the magazine is more casual than the other magazines i wrote about.

Language: Again, as with other contents pages, the language would be used to try and make all the articles and stories in the magazine look interesting and compelling. Most of the language used would be stuff that is aggressive and threatening as it is a rock and metal magazine and is just going with the trend.

Institution: Once again, the band is a commercial magazine as it is clearly in it to make money. We get this idea as they have an advertisement to try and get people to subscribe the their magazine. Also there are advertisements in the magazine which also tells us that it is a commercial magazine.

Ideology: Once again, the main ideology of the magazine is to promote the metal, rock and punk genre of music. The magazine is does things like advertise albums, reviews albums, reviews bands and gives gig guides.

Audience: The audience, the same with the other contents page i wrote about, would be people who are interested in what the magazine would have to offer. Take for example Live Reviews , Gigs, Album reviews and other advertisements that are through out the magazine. Again, aged 14-25.

Representation: Again, the images in the contents page will all have been modeled to look aggressive and advertising to the people who are reading it. The main story in the magazine has a bigger picture and block that any of the other stories to make the audience notice it first and to make it look more interesting. The main image in the magazine is a picture of the lead singer of the band. He would have been modeled to have his shirt off so that we can see his tattoos as that is a common interest around people who listen to their music. He would also have been told to make the hang gesture to make himself look big and assertive.

Contents Analasis 1

Language: The language used is a big part of the contents page as it gives an idea what kind of topics will be in the magazine. Take for example where it says "Massive 8 page review." The language is used to try and make the festival that it is reviewing a big festival, also, the fact that it describes the view as "Massive"makes it look like the article must be good, as well as long. This would make the audience more interested and willing to read it. Also, to relate with the style of rock and metal, where it says "I'd be really slutty if i were a girl for a day." It gives the idea of rebellion in which rock and metal is a big part of.

Institution: Even on the contents page we realise that the magazine is a commercial magazine as it gas advertisements, in which they would have put to make money. Also, they are advertise their own magazine to let you subscribe to the magazine. Once again this shows that the company is in it to make money.

Ideology: Judging by the articles in the magazine, the ideology of the magazine is to review band and albums, keep people up to date with the latest news in the music scene, interviews on already big bands and also to advertise band tours with the gig guide. This is all limited to the genre of rock, punk and metal music, meaning the ideology is based around those music genres.

Audience: Again, judging by the stories in the magazine, the audience would be aimed at people who are interested in the latest news in music, or people who like to go to music shows because of the gig guide. Also, a general audience would be people aged 16-25 who are interested in the music genres of Metal, Rock and Punk.

Representation: The main image in the contents page is placed on the top right of the magazine, next to the main story in the magazine. The pictures show bands that are playing on stage. Lots of pictures would have been taken for this magazine, as they couldn't model them if they are playing a live show. A picture that would have been modeled for the magazine is the picture of the band Slipknot at the bottom center of the magazine. The band is known for wearing masks so they would have been asked to wear them as that is the idol that they are known for. The lead singer is placed at the front of the pack to show that he is the main band member. Also, the background is black to show that the band is a "dark" band. All the font on the magazine is big and bold, especially the name of the stories to draw the audience's attention to it.

Music Magazine Analaysis 3.

Language: As in all metal magazines, the idea of the magazine is to look threatening and aggressive. Take for example the medium-close up used in the main image is to make it seem as if the music genre is "in your face"

Institution: We know that this is a commercial magazine as it has a bar code which means it is being sold in shops for money. The publisher of this magazine is Dark Arts Ltd. The magazine also has a website to back it up.

Ideology: The ideology of the magazine is to promote the genre of music Metal and also to promote the bands.

Audience: The main audience would be males in the social class C1, C2 and B. They would be apart of the social stereotype "Mosher" and would have a keen interest in music, and other things like skating. The general age of readers would be 14-25

Representation: The main image is modeled so that the person in it looks aggressive. This is so that he relates with the aggressiveness of the music that he creates. The color scheme is red, black and orange. Red and orange representing fire and the black representing the dark side of things. Also, the fonts used all give a sense of evil.
