Report.

The names of my magazines I have choose are “KERRANG!” which is mainly a magazine for people who like rather heavy music such as metal and rock. It appeals to this target audience by having dark bold colours and a very “I don’t care” style about it, its target audience is around 15-28 year olds and anyone who likes this kind of music. The mask head on “KERRANG!” looks like it had been printed and also it has got white lines going through the font of the mask head which as I said before adds to the casual theme of the magazine, also “KERRANG!” has a explanation mark which hints the music which it features are of a loud nature. However on the other hand the magazine “Q” is a more mainstream magazine and trys to appeal to more audiences, so it is not going to specialise in any kind of music and so this is going to reflect in its front cover aswell, so compared to “KERRANG!” is specialising in Heavy stuff, it is rather plain and empty looking. I think “Q” is sensible for the magazine because its mainstream so that the Q doesn’t really apply for any kind of music and its also very easy to remember.
