I wanted to see the newest magazines so I went out and bought them. Take a look.
Kerrang:
Kerrang magazine was exactly what I expected. Dark pages just like the cover, free posters and nothing but music information.
This was the front cover. Just like my last post, I noticed the dark colours, fonts and photographs.
To the left, is an example of one of the posters given away with the magazine. It's great for any music fan.
Here was one of the inside pages. Although it had a light blue, it still kept a dark colour (red) to compliment the rest of the magazine.
Top Of The Pops:
Top Of The Pops was instantly more girly. Take a look at this...
Top Of The Pops clearly is aimed at girls. With it's free nail set and pink colouring, it attracts girls almost instantly. I think the editor has made the target audience quite clear and has done very well in reeling them in.
Here is an example of a poster from the magazine.A male which young girls would class as 'fit' or 'hot'. This is great free gift for any teenage girl.
As you can see, the magazine does not just revolve around music, it has horoscopes (I'm Sagittarius) and even clothing items that are in the 'High street Hot list.' I may use these ideas in my music magazine.
I like this approach. You've clearly gone for a 'hands-on' style here and had a look through your case study material. As we become more familiar with other aspects such as conventions, it should develop into finer details.
