Research And Planning: Double Page Spread Analysis
They layout is the best part and very unique layout an incredible headline the red and black suit perfectly and the article looks tiny compared to the mass of edited pictures
The target audience is fans of My Chemical Romance as its a pretty much behind stage exclusive into their studios to see there up and coming songs and music
There are a total of 3 columns ,the picture and the 2 boxes of text
The pictures are of medium close ups and medium shots but they have been edited to give a dark olden day take to it.
Its perceived as being a rock/hard rock by the ay its set out but its really not due to it being on an alternative band
Research And Planning: Magazine Collage
These include:
1) Use colours Red, Black and Green
2) Use Sensory Fonts
3) Use Scary facesR
Research and Planning: Contents Page Analysis
The target audience is fans of anyone featured in the magazine or people who like the genre, since this is an oasis special magazine they would probably be more aiming at their fans.
The layout is really professional with a thin bar along the left side give the page number and a small article explaining what is on that page, along the bottom is also other sources of entertainment such as a crosswords. There is also a contents page for the Qreview area which is for reviews of bands and music. there is a massive picture in the middle which shows the main headlining band.
They're 2 columns which both have been divided into sub columns which is divide the different types of articles they are giving
They're 26 articles on offer which is to show the audience diversity and the cater for all to get a larger amount of purchasers, they also show the special edition articles in Gold so they stand out more.
The magazine is probably perceived as being a pop rock magazine as this is what is mainly feature in this magazine as the articles say.
The photo shown is a titled long shot as the camera is aiming up to make the band look taller

Research and Planning: Magazine Cover Analysis
The main focal audience is people who like guitar and drum based music such as rock/metal and any other variant of this type they feature many of the most famous band so it tailors to all types for fans, these also include visual effects to make it suit the actual audience because if it was lay out more of a rap magazine then the right audience would not buy it
The layout is set up to show big label bands such as bring me the horizon which are well known in the music industry to try and lure people into buying the magazine they also feature special terminology such as access all areas to try and make it seem very interesting. They stick to a 3 colour rule which always seem to include black and white and then they include one primary colour to make the cover seem interesting every week
The shot type varies from medium close up to close up with the main person from the band is always standing out a lot more such as oli sykes (top right) Josh franceschi (middle) and Corey Taylor (Bottom left) all there as persuasive techniques to make people buy the magazine

Research and Planning: Finished cover and contents Page
What I like about the magazine cover is how its designed the masthead Requiem shows that its a music college magazine as it is a word associated with Music, I downloaded a font of dafont.com called sugar death 2 because my main theme for it was to be associated with metal but I also included emophonic font for the dubstep article to make it seem techno.
I think the way I photoshopped candidate K is really great because the background matched parts of the candidate so it really shows the skills I learned in such a short time, I added a bar code and issue number to make it seem more professional
The contents page is pretty simple so easy to follow and suits the theme
What I could improve on:
On the Magazine cover I need to work on my skills with photoshopping because the picture had a few rough edges which shows its been photoshopped and the boxes could blend better so I could have chose a better colour
The contents page was a bit basic and I could have improved greatly in this area and I am really poor at organising boxes into areas
