Music magazines.

This image is of the music magazine Kerrang. It follows the codes and conventions of a music magazine.
-Headline: Smashed, under the main image. Big, Bold recognizable.
-Images: One big image, artist famous to the genre. Main story. Other smaller images of well known bands to the genre. Cover stories, not as important.
-Text: Text is large and catching. Minimal, straight to the point. Cracking and gaps in the letters, contributing to the genre.
The genre of this music magazine is mainly rock. Rock is set as a very controversial genre. Breaking the rules, and not sticking to the usual way in which music is made.
The text relates very much to this idea. Breaking the rules and not following the strongly built writing, instead filled with gaps and a worn away effect.

This is a typical 'Pop' genre magazine. There is a lot going on and is very hard to see which part is which.
However the cover sticks to the codes and conventions of it's genre.
Headline: Small, looks very unimportant, not recognizable, Saying the magazine itself should say what the magazine is about as it is so well known.
Images: The page is very much so filled with images. Usually artists well known to this genre. This is way each image speaks for  itself and a fan of this magazine wouldn't need to know the title because they would recognize which magazine it is by the images.
Text: There is very little text just headlines to show what each image is representing. Although the text which is on the cover, is very bold and bright, and has a usual colour scheme of pink, yellow and black. This is so the magazine genre is easily recognizable.



This is the official classical music magazine. This is very sophisticated, neat and tidy.
