magazine analysis

This morning we learnt about media within magazines such as mastheads, strapline, cover lines etc. The magazine given to us was 'kerrang', in order to analyse this magazine, we had to observe the images used within the magazine cover as well as the fonts used on the page. We noticed that the masthead used 'Kerrang' reflects the actual type of music itself. The music played on this music channel is very loud which represents the sound effect 'kerrang'.  We predict that the audience for this magazine would be young adults and teenagers white males interested in punk and rock. The graphics within the magazine cover involves a 'free poster' offer which we believe would attract young adults or teenagers to purchase the magazine. this is due to the idea that, ia poster would be more likely to be hung up in someone's bedroom wall rather than somebody who owns a house or a flat.
