Inconsistent colour
scheme, the colours are usually specific to each issue. Example in an issue
featuring Jimi Hendrix the colour scheme was black and green. An issue
featuring Jimmy Page had a black and red colour scheme throughout. Both these
colour scheme changes involved text and text blocks.

Music magazine annotations:

This magazine is aimed at a more mature audience, this
is clear through the use of dull colours. However, the dull colours make
the red stand out clearly along with the white logo on top. This means that
the customer can clearly see the brand of magazine. Also the image of the
main artist creates the dull feeling as what we see first is his black,blonde
hair, black glasses and stubble.
This magazine is aimed at young teenagers around the aim of,
13 years old. I feel that they appeal to this audience well. This is through
the use of primary colours as they are bright, something that young children
like. They have also used a well known artist ‘Rihanna’ as the main image to
draw the customer to buy the magazine. The use of text over block coloured
backgrounds makes it stand out more clearly. For example the ‘girlfriends,
naked bits + never seen pics!’ is much easier to see over the block colours
white and yellow.
This magazine is aimed at more male audiences in region of
18-25. They will attract their audiences through the contrasting colours of
white on black. This is seen as all the band is in black clothing, yet their
name is in white underneath, along with the title Kerrang, making it stand out
much more. However, at the top of the page next to ‘DOWNLOAD 2010 is a go’ the
black font on the red background is hard to read.
