Magazine Analysis

 The K! front cover appeals to it's reader because it is hectic. You can't really tell what's going on. It uses great techniques such as colour contrast. The layout of the cover may be hectic but it is very easy to read.

 The DPS again is hectic. It has many bubbles of text which are quotes from the band. It is easy to read and there is little white-space.

 The contents for K! is very hectic! It's hard to concentrate whilst reading it because there is so much going on. They use the boxes as little snapshots of articles and show a massive picture of what the main article is going to be. Overall I think K! appeals to it's audience in a unique way. It has a vast amount of readers and every week they deliver what we want.

This cover is a special addition. It features Cliff Burton on it. It appeals to the more older readers who will remember Cliff for what he did. However, this magazine is written for all kinds of audiences. And appeals to them all.

 The DPS is comparable to that of other magazines such as Mojo, it is wanting to be serious and sophisticated. I appreciate what MH are trying to do, because.. it works. Overall I think MH appeals to it's audience in a direct way. The front covers are usually hectic but readable and everything is well placed.

 This is the DPS of rock sound. It's insane. There is so much going on and so much detail put into the pictures. The picture lures your eyes away from the text. And draws you in more as you want to read all about the picture.

 This front cover is neat, tidy and easy to read. I like what they did with the Bubble of the band on the front cover and I think it works. Also I think that with the background being just plain it makes it more appealing to the reader.

The contents page is easy to manoeuvre around. It isn't too hectic and has lots of information. I feel that it is text heavy but it works well with the magazine. Overall Rock Sound appeals to it's reader with the heavy text but vast amount of information with it.

Masthead Analysis

Metal Hammer :- The masthead for Metal Hammer is more pointy which shows what type of music it is. Also you can clearly see that underneath is shattering glass, they have used that effect on the masthead. This gives some insight into what music it is also because it always has an aggressive effect to it.

mixmag :- The masthead for Mixmag is clearly representing the type of music that it has inside. The roundness of the words represent that they are DJ decks and maybe Vinyl records. The use of colours also shows what music it is. It's colourful and energizing.

50 Cent CANDY SHOP

How women are portrayed in 50 Cent Candy shop.

Women in the 50 cent video “Candy Shop” are portrayed as sex objects, they are only there for his needs and to have sex with him, he does not see them other than a background object to fulfil his needs. The girls are usually behind him which shows he is superior to them. They aren’t seen as real people, just “ho’s.”

Also when you are watching the video, they are all dressed as men will see them, usually in the media we see women through the male gaze.
Also we could get the impression that the women are just queueing up to have sex with him because he is so famous and seen as a sex god.

However, they could also be seen as the dominant sex as they control him because they know what he wants.

Also he keeps talking about how they want it, but in reality they only want his money.

Lone Warriors - Statuoto Insanity

Created in PS

Evaluation: This wasn't my initial design. It was first an atom bomb explosion, but i thought that it did not coincide with the type of music. I found the asylum background on google, and the person is a friend of mine. Using Dafont i used texts that were distorted and looked angry. I gave them a shadow after copying a picture into the texts. I chose the name Statuoto Insanity because i thought it was catchy. And Lone Warriors because when you are in an insane asylum. Your are alone. On the person, i embossed him to make him look as if he weren't human and just a polished doll.
