Magazine newsstand analysis:
As you can notice this music magazine is laid out
differently, this implies that it was set to be positioned specifically in this
way for the targeted audience of this type of music magazine. The magazines are
placed one after the other in a vertical position. This suggests that the
audience will be drawn towards the masthead of the music magazine as well as
the medium close up image on the front page of the magazine. The masthead is
named as ‘Kerrang!’ it is bold and big which I assume will immediately catch
the reader’s attention towards this piece of article, the masthead is slightly
covered due to the medium close up of the image on the front page of the
magazine, however, you can tell that the magazine is called ‘Kerrang!’. The
medium close up is also used to interest the reader’s, the facial expression of
the person on the front page is shocked and surprised, this could imply that
the information within this specific music magazine has shocking and surprising
information closely linked to the person on the front page of the magazine. The
cover-lines on this magazine are fully showed only on the magazine which is
placed at the front, these cover-lines attract the reader’s attention as the
audience will know what to expect in that particular magazine, and so they are
not disappointed. The corner of the music magazine ‘Kerrang!’ does use
terminology for teasers to perhaps attract and interest the audience’s
attention so that they are willing and eager to buy the music magazine.
