Cover Price: This is the price

that the readers buy the

magazine for. The cover price is
shown on the front cover. This
also represents the social
classification for the
demographics of the magazine.
The demographics of this
magazine would range from
class B to D because they would
be able to afford this magazine
weekly. The people who are
grouped in these social classes
would listen to the same kind of
music because they are using
similar media consumption.
The barcode always
appears on the right
hand side of the front
cover. The bar code is a
black and white serial
number which can be
read by a computer or
app. This also tells the
target audience what the
date and issue number
of the magazine is, so
the audience know
exactly what issue this is
Puff / buzz word, the magazine is giving away a
free item, so this is influencing the reader to buy
the magazine, more because of the free item,
because the reader is intrigued what songs are
on the CD . So, if the reader wants the free CD
they must buy the magazine.
The skyline is telling the audience the genre of music, the genre of the magazine is rock music. You can tell this by one of the
bands that are featured; Paramore is a rock band. There is also a pull quote about Paramore being in the UK, this is also a
technique that the magazine uses to make the reader buy the magazine. The skyline is also a puff because its advertising a free
poster and cd which is convincing the reader to buy the magazine so they can have these free items. They have also used a small
image on the Skyline, with the band / artist name, so the reader could identify them.
This is a pull quote from
the main cover story
which is being said in the
perspective of the lead
singer, you can tell this by
the image of him being
bigger on the page than
the other band members.
A pull quote is used to
break up a piece of text
on a magazine, it also
helps to intrigue the
reader to read the story
behind the quote. The
colour yellow is
connoting the light and
hope for the singer, since
he was having trouble and
his band members helped
him through it. The
reason why the other half
of the quote is white is
because its reflecting his
life now which is good.
The reason why this pull
quote is on the front cover
is because people can
relate to the singer, since
people do have problems,
this is also showing a very
different side of
representation for the
singer, since now he is
being shown as a normal
person and not a famous
person because people
will stereotype famous
people not to have
everyday problems like
normal everyday working
people. The font is a bold,
san serif font that has
yellow and white as its
font colour. Its in capital
letters to emphasise the
point of the singer to the
reader and to get the
message / opinion of the
singer to the readers.
The Masthead
is in red, bold,
san serif font.
The reason
why the font is
red, is to
connote that
the magazine
has passion,
love and
power. The
logo is also in
the masthead,
which is
showing the
reader the logo
of the
magazine and
so if they see
this logo again
they will know
its belongs to
RockSound
(brand
identity). The
main image, is
covering the
word sound on
the tile which
is conveying
that the image
is more
important to
the magazine
than the
masthead.







The website is mentioned at the
bottom on the price tag because
its out of the way but the reader
could miss this is because its so
small. The reason why
magazines have websites is so
there target audience, can go on
the website and get the latest
and up to date news from the
magazine. The font is a san
serif, black font.
This is a puff because its
influencing the reader to buy
the magazine, by saying over
19 new bands to know about
inside the magazine. The +
19 is in a bold san serif font.
The new bands is in the
colour yellow and in a bold
but smaller san serif font and
its in capitals which
emphasis to the reader this is
important and the reader
should take notice.
Underneath are some bands
names in a white san serif
font in capital letters; this is
to tell the reader the
importance of the bands. The
and more, is to intrigue the
reader to look inside this is in
a yellow san serif font and
this puff is on a green
background
Main Cover Line: Six Months is the length of time they will be in the jungle, it is bold yellow san serif font the reason why its in
yellow is it connotes to honour and loyalty because they planned to complete the months in the jungle. Inside, Bring me the, is in a
bold san serif font because its connoting to the light after the experience they have been through. Horizon, word is in yellow and
white colour because at the end of the six months they do get to see the light; its in a bold serif font. The main cover line is all in
capitals to empathise the point of the article but some of the font size is smaller than others to convey they are important to the
cover line but not as important.
Colour Scheme: The colour scheme for this issue is green, yellow and white. These
colours are used because of the relationship with the main cover line / article because it
was in a jungle which they are connoting to the reader. Red and black are also used
which also compliments the colours because it helps balance the light and dark colours
on the front cover and during the magazine. The layout of the magazine needs to be
simpler because there is a lot to taken in just looking at the magazine so people can
easily miss cover lines and other things on the front cover.
The green and white
symbol must be
symbolising the Jungle
which is linked to the
main cover line because
its behind the main
image of the band and
in front of the image
and behind the main
cover line.
The cover lines
titles are in a
bold, san serif
font in green
and white
colour. There
is a bit of space
in between the
synopsis, so
you can tell the
difference
between them,
seen as white
dots. There is
an image
which is about
one of the
cover lines on
the cover. The
mix of the 2
colours is
connoting the
light and
goodness of
the music. The
cover title is in
yellow san
serif font, with
a green
background.



The main title, this tells the reader that it is the contents page; this is a white san
serif font, bold. The white connotes to the rock music being heavenly
perfection. The colour is used to convey the music is like no other genre of
music and that rock music has a very high standard to live up to. The reason
why the font is in capital letters is to inform the reader, that the title is important
to this page. The text is on a black background because the colour is connoting
the power of rock music has over its target audience. The colours also
complement each other.

This is a sub story insert which runs alongside the main
story. It has a title The light at the end of the tunnel. This
is relating to the experience of Matt Heavy. The font is a
bold, white sans serif font which connotes the journey they
have had. Underneath the title is the tagline of the sub
story which sums up the story, vengeance might be a

The sub heading is in a bold, san serif font. It uses the colour white because its connoting to goodness and about how innocent the band was before they
experienced life in the Jungle. The reason why the band name is yellow is because thats conveying to the audience the light of belief the band had to have to
survive the experience. The sub heading sums up what it is about perfectly, its introduced the reader to the article they are about to read, its a bit long to be
honest and not catchy enough to be a sub-heading.

The article is in a san
serif white font. This is
telling the readers
about the bands
experience in the
Jungle. There are two
paragraphs which start
with capital letters and
in a yellow san serif
font. This is to
emphasise that these
two paragraphs are the
most important out of
the whole article
because they are
explaining to the
reader, where the band
is now and did the
band actually survive
the jungle. In the
article on this band the
main colours have been
yellow, white and
green because these
colours connote
colours of the jungle
and are a
representation of the
jungle.
The image, of the band is on both pages, with a bleed that extended this and the next page.
The back ground is a forest green to connote the jungle.

The image, of the compass is connoting the idea of the
main article to the readers, because the band was in a
jungle for six month, so they had to use a compass in the
woods. The colour green is connoting the colour of the
leaves / trees because in a jungle there is just trees in the
landscape and nothing else around.

The quote I thought I was going to be killed, is a quote by one of the members of the band. The
quote is in a bold, san serif font with the colour of the font being white. The reason I think why they
have used it is since the main image is of the band in a jungle scene; they are making it even more
personal to the band by using the experience of a member (Matt Heafy). The reason why its at the top
of the page is because its shows the band rethinking about the experience to the reader.
The main title for this article is a play on word of brave new world,
instead the title is Grave New World, since the band thought they were
going to die in this experience, since the world brave is replaced with
grave. Grave connotes to death or something that is dead. The Grave New
World, could also have the meaning that the jungle is dangerous since
grave can also mean this. The font size is big so the reader can tell that this
is the title of the story, its also a quote by Caren Gibson one of the
members of the band. The font is bold and is a san serif font. The reason
the colour of the font is green and white is because its connoting to how the
band saw the light at the end of the turnel of this experience. The colour
green is connoting because they were in a jungle for six months.
The
rocksound.tv is
brand identity
because its

The main
image is of
the band
Trivium, in a
jungle scene
because the
magazine is
connoting the
article through
the image,
because the
band were in a
jungle for 6
months. The
band is
wearing all
black which is
their signature
colour for the
clothing they
wear. The
band poses
are conveying
that the
experience for
them was
tough because
they look all
tough. The
image takes
up the whole
of the page,
which
conveys to the
reader that
this image is
important.
