2. Cover
The Masthead
•Grungy
•Destroyed
•Damaged Both have a similar style, with a
•Stands Out smashed effect. Show clearly
what type of music magazine it
is
Banner/List
Like Kerrang!, I have a banner
above the masthead listing bands
in the magazine
Another list of bands also located
on the front page

3. Cover image
•Both models make eye contact
•Both have the main cover line overlap
them
•Both images take up the majority of the
page
•Both images portray an edgy style
Like Kerrang I
also have a
secondary
image on the
front cover of
a band
featured in the
magazine
Cover lines
Following
barcode
conventions, I have
used cover lines as well Both have an barcode on the bottom of the
as my main cover front cover

5. DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD
On my DPS I used the bands name to cover
the whole page, in Kerrangs! They used there’s
as a slug
They do not use a Title and explanatory text
pull quote, however
they do use a picture
to form the whole
background as I do, I
also use secondary
pictures unlike
Kerrang!
It’s against conventions to use a text box to display the editorial
content on a DPS, but both my magazine and kerrang do this
for our DPS’s, Kerrang! Use there’s as a speech mark to each
member of the group, mine is just for one member

6. Media Institutions
X
My main competition would be Kerrang!
Similar magazine style to mine
Baurer distributes Kerrang!.
This would mean I cannot have the “Baurer” Company distribute my
product.
IPC Media distribute NME music magazine
It’s more indie and mainstream than my magazine
Wouldn’t be competition for my magazine
IPC media also have success with many other magazines
As NME is a successful music magazine they [IPC Media]
should be able to make my magazine successful as well

7. AUDIENCE
•Target audience: Males, aged 15+ (15-30)
•Those interested in rock, heavy rock
•Those into less mainstream bands
•Those into bands from overseas
•Newcomers to the music business
•I’ve conducted surveys with people who listen to that style
[Rock, Punk Rock etc…] of music to hear what they want to
hear
•Been to popular rock gigs, asked people their about bands
etc… they like
•Asked what they want to know about
•Articles about bands they enjoy most
•I’ve used informal colloquial language throughout
•The reader doesn’t need much prior knowledge before reading
this, the magazine will tell you what you need to know (Uses and
Gratification : Information)
•Am different to my main competition (Kerrang!) as I use less
mainstream bands.

8. Social Groups
•Likely to be C1 or lower
•Use of informal/colloquial language suggests that
