Title Block Analysis

This is an analysis of various title blocks. 







The genre of this music magazine will likely be Soul, blues or/and rock due to the edgy sort of still which makes it look antique.

The colours that are used are a dark red, black and grey, these colours tell me that they have used these specific colours to attract a certain audience; maybe the dark red for an older audience as the young audience would like a more vibrant red.

They have been used because the red is very dull yet eye catching this then attracts the audience’s attention as the colours behind the red make it more appealing and creative.

The font used is bold italic and is 3D this then relates to the genre as it may symbolise rock due to the bold font, which then may relate to being rebellious. It could also relate to soul or blues because of the italic font being smooth.

The actual title ‘Rolling Stone’ tells me that the magazine maybe trending, so something that is popular nowadays, as the connotation for ‘Rolling Stone’ would be that it is continuing rolling therefore continuing being ‘in’ trend.  

I presume that there is a wide range of target audience because Rolling Stone is just not one music genre, but a lot (so pop culture) , although it’s not as retro, and its aimed at the adults more than the teenagers. I think the audience would mainly be men aged 20+ due to the edgy colours that are manlier rather than feminine. 

The genre of this music magazine would be Pop, R&B and Indie Rock due to the bold and eye catching font and colour.

The colours that are used are red, black and grey; these colours tell me that the magazine’s style could be funky and unique as they are very vibrant colours which contrast well together. They have been used because the red is very vibrant this then attracts and the audience’s attention.

The font used is bold and quite masculine as it is quite thick and outstanding; this then would tell me that maybe the genre for the magazine is rock as stereotypically men are in rock bands. Due to the eye catching font, it connotes that the magazine is very popular.

The actual title ‘NME’ (new musical express) would tell me that it is a well-known magazine due to the actual magazine title being an acronym which then tells me that because it is such a famous magazine it doesn’t need to be spelled out for the audience as they would already know.

The target audience may be mainly men aged 20+ due to the vibrant and bold colours/font, also because of the genre being rock, it would mostly appeal to men.

The genre of this music magazine would be rock due to the type of font that they use, as it is quite edgy and rugged.

The colour that are used is black, these colours tell me that the style of the magazine could be very edgy and rusty which symbolises that there might only be one genre because there is only one main colour. They have been used because the black is very powerful this then attracts the audience’s attention as it is such a bold colour.

The font used is bold; it has thing white lines that are going across the font in different directions- this may suggest an outburst of music, it could also connote being rebellious as it looks like an explosion which then suggests an explosion of anger.

The actual title ‘Kerrang!’ tells me that the magazine would be very rebellious because of the colours and font, and due to the exclamation mark- this connotes that someone is shouting therefore relating to rock music as the genre is quite loud and powerful, it could also mean that due to it being a magazine they are giving you information.  

The target audience may be men aged 20+ as it is stereotypically know that men like the rock genre, it would also appeal to them due to the font and colour being manly. 

Final Magazine Proposal

This is my final magazine proposal where i have included my ideas for my magazine, i have also included a character profile- this profile is a person that i think would buy my magazine. 

Feedback for my magazine

This is my feedback video where i have asked my target audience about my magazine. It would help me with the planning for my magazine as by getting the audience's opinion I can learn and develop ideas for it. For example i asked about the price of my magazine and if it was reasonable or not- they replied that it was, so therefore i should leave the price as it is.

Initial Magazine Plan

Here is my brainstorm of ideas for my magazine.
