The content of this specific magazine contains an image that
takes up the majority of the page itself. This implies that the main article in
the magazine will feature the people within the image. By the image being in
black and white connotes age, as all images many years ago were only in colour.
This connotes to the audience that the people in the image have been round for
a long time, suggesting that they may be making a comeback of some sort. It can
also suggest that because they have been around for a while they have more experience
in the music industry and there quality of music will be better than any new
comers which will attract more audiences. By using the older image will attract
a secondary audience because the primary audience will be the people who usually
read the magazine but then the secondary audience will be those who are
interested In the artists in the image.
By having the people within the image looking like they are
dancing and smiling immediately sets a happy feel to the audience as they can
see others are enjoying themselves and so are they. This allows the reader to
create a positive feel when thinking of the magazine encouraging them to read
on or even read the magazine again. It also allows the reader to enjoy reading
the magazine because they do not feel as though everything within will be
serious. By the people in the image looking away from the camera and
demonstrating that they are actually engaging in what they are doing suggests
to the reader that the image is naturally posed and has not been set up, this
connotes that the artist actually enjoy what they are doing and are not just doing
it for the money and fame.
By having the same colour scheme of pink and black running
throughout the contains page adds sophistication and maturity to the magazine
as it looks as though everything has been thought about and not just randomly chosen
for the sake of it. Also by having a repetition of colours throughout allows audiences
to recognise the magazine houses style/ brand identity. The use of black
connotes sophistication and dominance in the magazine which will appeal to an
older audience and suggests that the magazine is more superior to the others.
On the other hand the use of pink suggest a more girly, young feel to the magazine
appealing to a younger audience and connoting that not all the things within
are taking seriously and that the magazine can adapt to suit you.
By using the bold font when introducing the themes written
about on certain pages allows the audience to automatically see what will be featured
on each page. It also gets across the main story so that the reader does not
have to read loads before they find out what is on what page. It also allows the
reader to navigate to pages quickly as they can cleary see what stories go with
what pages. By putting the font in black allows helps the writing to stand out
as it contrasts with the white background, furthermore this again, helps the
audiences to identify certain stories without struggle.
