Research: Task One

Cover One: Metal Hammer: Rob Halford

1. Rob Halford is on the cover. A medium close-up shot is used. He is represented as a fun person, but with also a slight aggressive side, like the typical rock singer. He is also shows to have a soft side, almost contrasting his personality as a singer to his personality as a person outside of the music world. This can be seen by the black colour scheme which have connotations of aggressiveness and almost evil, which is juxtaposed to his fun facial expression, with his tongue out, and the kittens in his hands.

2. The cover lines include topics such as animals, witchcraft, blood.

3. The colour scheme of black, yellow, and white, has connotations of aggression and violence, as well as happiness, and purity, highlighting how different the cover star, Rob Halford is as a singer and as a person.

4. The masthead is at the top, underneath a cover line, and goes behind the Rob Halford's head. It uses a sans serif font to appeal to the younger audience, and seem less formal.

5. There is one image.

6. There are 11 coverlines used?

7. All of the information is in the bottom left, out the way of everything else. It contains credits        for the companies related to the magazine, as well as the barcode and price.

8. There are about 3 different fonts used to highlight information, and showing importance of         the text. The masthead is in very bold text to stand out, and the main cover line is in a very       jagged font.

9. There is no puff, and the only shape used is the white rectangle in the bottom left to                   highlight the information.

Cover Two: KERRANG!: Green day

 1. Green Day is on the cover, and a mid shot is used.   He is represented as a typical rockstar, with black hair,   and dark clothes. Furthermore, his makeup gives him   dark eyes, further showing this stereotype. 

 2. The cover features cover lines about film and music.

 3. The green in the colour scheme has been used to   link the cover star, green day. The gradient background   allows him to stand out. The yellow has been used to   highlight the smaller text, and to get the eye to look at it.
