• The colour scheme on the front of Kerrang is noticeably more dynamic colours than other music magazine such as Q. • The colours on this cover are used as their main audience are teenagers who like these colours. • The colour yellow has been used on the magazine cover to make the most important things on the cover to stand out to the reader. These are the band names and the competition at the bottom of the page. It draws the audience in as it would stand out on a shop shelf to a passing eye. • On this cover, there are more images to text. This is because the target audience of this magazine usually prefer pictures than reading large quantities of text. • The main picture beneath the title, of Hayley Williams is not a conventional portrait picture but a ‘fun’ picture where her head is on an angle, further supporting the aim to appeal to the younger people. • The colours around this image are bright and lively. • All the images on the front of this magazine cover are looking towards the camera which would encourage the person to buy the magazine • The colours are kept simple on this cover. Only two main colours are used which are red and white. • Unlike Kerrang, the cover is kept simple and only has one main image to make the focus on Anthony Kiedis. • Only one main block of text which is associated with the image • Uses more than one font on the front cover Similarities • Both have a colour scheme • Both have main image over title • Both use more than one font on the front cover • Both have a barcode and price Differences • Kerrang uses more than one picture on their front cover • Both use different colours • Both use different fonts • Kerrang has more writing on their cover • Kerrang promote a competition on their front cover Top of the Tops is different to Q and Kerrang as it is aimed towards a younger audience. It has images of 2 different boy bands which are loved by teenagers. On the cover it says “Can you handle One Direction’s shocking secrets” this appeals to the target audience and will attract them to buying it. The colour scheme of this magazine is bright and lively which appeals to a passing eye. This is my style model for my article page. I am going to use a full size image and keep the background to give it a good effect. I am going to write the article around the photo and use two different images on each side of the article spread. The image’s background will be of a street to make it look more realistic and not using Photoshop to make it look more genuine.
