TRANSCRIPT

Spin magazine is known for its broad music coverage. This cover looks almost tabloid because of its cover lines. I like how the cover lines have been wrote in a reversed out style because they don’t get lost within the picture. It also compliments the picture because it has a bold look. The left third has been used for this cover. This would appeal to older teenagers/young adults who have an interest in a wide genre of music.

This is another spin magazine. It’s different to the usual spin magazines because it’s a ‘Best of 2007’ issue. The magazine has a techno/cool style to it. The image is of Kanye West who is represented in a ‘cool’ way. Behind Kanye are robots which represents his song. This ties in with the main cover line. This magazine would appeal to readers who enjoy a wide range of music from that year.

Mixmag is a dance/club magazine. In this issue the main image doesn’t represent the dance and club genre. It has more of a laid back approach. The colours are toned down even though it uses orange it’s a toned orange instead of bright.The main cover line is ‘festivals are go!’ which would appeal to anyone who are going to a festival or want information on festivals.

Vibe magazine is a rap and r&b magazine. The Of the magazine is kept simple. It has a large main Image representing that it’s a rap magazine.

NME magazine is a weekly music magazine. Its a tabloid magazine. The colours are striking, bright reds and yellows. The left third has an important part in this magazine. They've used pull quotes to entice the reader. The page is overcrowded and it’s a typical tabloid magazine. It would appeal to regular readers as well as enticing new readers.

This is another example of spin magazine. Its strong and confident in its image and text. The image is of Lilly Allen with her hands on her hips and starring straight at you. The text is also strong because its all in bold.

Rolling stone is published every two weeks. I think this magazine is aimed at adults or older adults interested in music because of its colour use. The colours are kept toPale blue and red and white. Amy Whinehouse is the main image and it is covering up the masthead which suggest that it’s a well known magazine.

Q magazine is a general music magazine. This coverUses a mix of sans serif and serif fonts. this makes the magazine look some what sophisticated although still appealing to not so serious readers.
