For my second double page spread im going to analyze this two page spread which is from NME which is a famous rock genre. NME is a very popular rock music magazine which has been out for many years. In the double page spread it contains a big heading saying "The Teenagers," a small pug, 4 pictures and a main background image with also a lot of writing and a little fact sheet in the corner.

The colour scheme doesn't represent well to the house style of red, black and white as the three colours used on this page spread is blue, white and black. I feel that this portrays against the NME house style and colours. As i feel that the magazine colours need to be the same throughout the magazine. And if they aren't house style then I feel it wont be as good. For the titles in the magazine there is a pug styled one in the top left hand corner saying "Radar" also there is the biggest title heading which is the main reason about this double page spread and this is the name of band "The Teenagers" these both have a blue bold border around the writing to make it stand out alot. This is appealing so the customers reading this then know what the main focus is about and who they are. The layout of the writing is placed mainly to the right hand side to show the main image and that nothing goes over it to ruin the image. There are three images at the right hand corner to the page showing what other people are talking about. The speech heading goes across the two pages and it slightly tilted to make them look like it has been written by themselves. There is a pug in the bottom corner promoting this magazine by explaining to the magazine and the audience what the artists "The Teenagers" are about with a mini biography of there history and about them. The font for the writing of the speech heading is the same as the NME logo this is to show the reader that it is a NME magazine. The colour of the font i feel is used very differently and i feel it looks very good as the colours have been made to stand out which they have successfully done. Even though it does not match to the house style.

For my first two page spread im going to analyze this two page spread is from Kerrang which is a rock genre. Kerrang is a very popular rock music magazine which has been out for many years. In the double page spread it contains a big speech heading a big pug, 3 pictures and a main background image with also a lot of writing and a little fact sheet in the corner.

The colour scheme represents well to the house style of red, black and white as the background is black throughout most of the background image and i feel the white writing works well with it. I feel that the red is portrayed well too as it stands out well from the black and i feel it works well with the white and it is important to make the magazine appeal to the customers who buy Kerrag magazines. The layout of the writingis placed to the right hand side to show the main image and that nothing goes over it to ruin the image. There are three images at the bottom corner to the page showing the artists performing at different stages in there career. The speech heading goes across the two pages and it slightly tilted to make them look like it has been written by themselves. There is a pug in the top corner promoting this magazine the this is a world exclusive to make the customers feel they are special and one of the first people to read about My Chemical Romance. The font for the writing of the speech heading is the same as the kerrang logo this is to show the reader that it is a Kerrang magazine. The colour of the font i feel is used and i feel it looks very good as the colours have been made to stand out which they have successfully done.

This is an issue of the magazine called billboard I will be analyzing. Billboard is a famous music magazine which has been around for many of decades. It contains a masthead, this is very bold so that the audience can see what brand the magazine is so they can recognise it straight away. The Billboard logo is the boldest piece of text on the cover for obvious reasons to show the reader what the brand of the magazine is. The colour scheme for the billboard logo is that on the board for each hole in the writing there is a different colour for example red or yellow or blue.This magazine looks a very modern magazine compared to other magazines i have analyzed.There is also a picture of the main feature of the magazine, this is Soulja Boy and this tells the audience the main feature that is going to be inside the magazine. The masthead is in to the top of the front page and is the same colour like it is on every issue for many decades, this makes it easy to recognise and people who want to buy this particular magazine can easily tell this is billboard. This is so recognisable as billboard that the picture of Soulja Boy is covering part of the masthead which in most billboard magazines normally overshadow the logo.The font used for the billboard masthead is used throughout the front cover and inside the magazine, this is another way to make it recognisable to people looking to purchase it. Also the colour scheme's they use for this magazine represents the house style of billboard which is white yellow,red and blue which has been used for many years.For the layout down the right hand side are more stories that are inside the magazine, the headline of the story is in big white letters and a small tag line about the story is underneath in a smaller white font. Also there is only one pug and this covers over the top of the b on billboard magazine masthead. This is a blue colour with white writing.The main reason to why the writing is layed out to the right hand side is that it would then not block out the main image of the front cover which is Soulja Boy's face. there is no barcode for this magazine on the front cover. Also compared to other magazines there is no banner at the top or on the page.

Here i will be analyzing a kerrang music magazine issue. Kerrang is a very popular rock genre magazine.

it contains a masthead which is very bold so that the audience can see what brand the magazine is so they can recognise it straight away. But to make the logo blend in with the magazine they have blended it with a musicians head going through the middle of kerrang. The kerrang logo is the boldest piece of text on the cover for obvious reasons to show the reader what the brand of the magazine is. There is the black writing, which is then outlined with a white border. This is kerrangs house style of having the same logo for each magazine.

There is also a picture of the main feature of the magazine, this is of a musician and this tells the audience the main feature that is going to be inside the magazine. The masthead is along the whole top section of the magazine and it is the same colour logo and type which has been going on every issue for many decades, this makes it easy to recognise and people who want to buy this particular magazine can easily tell this is kerrang. The font used for the Kerrang masthead is used throughout the front cover and inside the magazine, this is another way to make it recognisable to people looking to purchase it. Also the colour scheme's they use for this magazine represents the house style of kerrang which is black and white with yellow aswellfor the masthead and the rest varies in colour which has been used for many years.For the layout the writing is more to the bottom of the page, the headline of the story is in big white letters and a small tag line about the story is underneath in a smaller white font. Also down the left hand side there is four pictures dotted around the left hand side as they explain inside what artists are going to be inside. These each say band names such as my chemical romance, bullet for my valentine, green day and metallica. These pictures all have the house style colours inside with them using the three house style colours of yellow and black writing around the pictures. In the bottom right corner there is the barcode this is placed far away from all the writing and the image so that it doesnt cut across or interfere with the front cover of the magazine. Across the top their is a banner which says "Linkin Park, Led Zeppelin, Enter Shikari, NOFX" this is too show the reader that whats inside normally which is the musicians which will be focused inside the magazine.

Analysis of NME Magazine!

This is an issue of NME magazine i will be analyzing. NME is a very famous if not the most famous music magazine roaming the streets of england and other countries for decades.
it contains a masthead which in media terminology means logo, this is very bold so that the audience can see what brand the magazine is so they can recognise it straight away. The NME logo is the boldest piece of text on the cover for obvious reasons to show the reader what the brand of the magazine is. There is the red writing, which is then outlined with white and the again with black. These are the three colours used throughout the rest of the cover. But because this magazine is a christmas edition there is snow on top of the logo to represent it being christmas.
There is also a picture of the main feature of the magazine, this is Simon Cowell and this tells the audience the main feature that is going to be inside the magazine. The masthead is in the top left hand corner and is the same colour like it is on every issue for many decades, this makes it easy to recognise and people who want to buy this particular magazine can easily tell this is NME. This is so recognisable as NME that the picture of Simon Cowell is not covering part of the masthead which in most NME magazines normally overshadow the logo.
The font used for the NME masthead is used throughout the front cover and inside the magazine, this is another way to make it recognisable to people looking to purchase it. Also the colour scheme's they use for this magazine represents the house style of NME which is red white and black which has been used for many years.
For the layout down the left hand side are more stories that are inside the magazine, the headline of the story is in big white letters and a small tag line about the story is underneath in a smaller white font. Also down the left hand side there is four pugs dotted around the left hand side as they explain inside what artists are going to be inside. These each say band names such as MGMT and Paramore and many others. These pugs all have the house style colours inside with them using the three house style colours of red white and black.The main reason to why the writing is layed out to the left hand side is that it would then not block out the main image of the front cover which is Simon Cowells face. In the bottom right corner there is the barcode this is placed far away from all the writing and the image so that it doesnt cut across or interfere with the front cover of the magazine. Across the top their is a banner which says "Massive Christmas Double Issue" this is too show the reader that whats inside normally, but because its christmas they show that inside there is going to be double the normal size in this magazine.
