Pull quote

shows the most important information which is going to be in the magazine for the reader. This is because on a shelf the first thing that we see is the left third.

This is very big to attract the eye. Also, the writing seems to be cracked or smashed as if someone punched it this connotes that the audience is aggressive and very

upfront. The main person is looking and smiling at us which connotes he is friendly and inviting us into his personal life. He also seems to want everyone to know the he is very manly because of his tattoos, posture and hat but he is cooking so it shows his feminine side as well.

The pull quote is very strange and ‘outside the box’. This connotes the audience is a little weird and is not interested in the straight forward type of band. Also the audience are less interested in this band because its not in the left third.

This shows clearly that the audience is very fascinated by different types of bands.

The fact that its ‘exclusive’ and ‘at home with Corey Taylor’ are with the same text makes it as if it was a whole sentences. Also ‘exclusive’ connotes that no one else will have it and it makes the audience feel special in a way. ‘At home with Corey Taylor’ shows that he is welcoming the audience into his home and his world. Stonesour is a band but the fact that they only put one member shows that he is the one that the target audience are going to be most interested in. On the front cover they have connected all the colours together because they only have 4 main colours. This is shown because there is yellow, green, black and white that stand out the most.

Main image

The main image goes well with the pull quote because they are a group of friends. The pose I quite fun, friendly and welcoming. This is shown by the band having a sort of smile on their face and looking at the audience.

The main member is at the front and doing a fun pose which connotes he doesn’t take himself too seriously which goes well with the “the one you fart out becomes the big hit”. They seem like a group of mates hanging about and getting the reader involved.

Stands out in the front cover.

Most colours are the same. There seems to be 4 main colours: blue, white, yellow and black.

The left third

Has most information that the audience is going to be interested in. The target audience is mostly interested in muse because it seems to stand out at the top. Also at the bottom there seems to be loads of bands featured in this magazine, this connotes that the target audience is really interested in rock music. The main audience seem to be intrigued by bands, interviews, poster, rock music and the dark side.

Main image

The main image is interesting because Oly.S. is no saint but he still has a halo on his head to make him look like an angel, as if he is a good role model. Also the lighting make him look angelic. Although the tattoos seem to be a bit more sinner and tough. This gives two different sides of Oly which will grab the readers attention.

The fact that he has tattoos and piercing suggests that the reader is going to be a rock type and going to have piercings and tattoos too. This connotes that the reader wants to be unique, stand out, want attention and feel wanted.

Lead article

The lead article is about Olly Sykes. ‘Bring me the horizon’ is his band name so the producers have clearly put that in big righting to attract the eye. The fact that Oly is in the main image on the front cover connotes that the readers are mostly interested in him and not the rest of the band.

Main image

The main image seems very calm and chilled. The camera shot is mid shot which shows clearly what they look like and the sort of location they are standing on. This image shows All Time Low in a more open way because the first band member on the left seems to connote that he wants to show all that he has got in him. Also Alex has a t-shirt which says: “No pig deal”. This shows that he doesn’t take himself too seriously. The guy next to him has a pig on his t-shirt which connects with Alex’s t-shirt and shows that the band can be fun and silly at time. The back round location seems as if they are getting ready to go on tour and its sunny which shows that they are in a happy place.

Pull quote

The pull quote clearly shows that people didn’t used to like the ‘old’ All Time Low but they are trying to change and show people that they are nice people even though they have done bad things in the past. They want to show that audience that its hard to be who they are but that they are grateful.

Columns

Quite neat and there is a lot of information to please the audience.

Article

The article has a contrast because it says: “all time low” and then “high times”. This could connote that the band when they started they didn’t have the best time but now everything is getting better.

The article writes about how All Time Low want everyone to know that they are real and write their own song but also that they are unique. They want people to know them for who they really are and strip down all the detail and rumours. Also they say that they have made a change to their life and that change has gone for the better.
