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.
