3. Analysis Of Cover-Terrorizer
●
The front cover uses a masthead that is
clearly displayed at the the top of the
page, the model that is in the main image
is in a medium close shot and is covering
the masthead. The cover lines clearly
gives us an idea of what is inside the
magazine and the use of a darker
background helps conform to the idea that
metal is dark and gloomy. The front cover
in this case displays a free gift that will
encourage people to buy the magazine.
●
The font used on the page also helps
conform to the idea that metal is dark. The
font used is something you might see in a
horror movie title, and the name
“Terrorizer” helps add to this idea.
4. Analysis of Contents-Terrorizer
●
The contents page displays which articles are
on which page, but not all articles are
listed in this case. Terrorizer decided to
only list the most important stories. On the
left of the page, there is a snippet of an
article to interest the reader so that they
will read on. At the bottom of the page
there is an image of one of the bands that
are including in the magazine The
contents page has a plain white
background so that it is easier to read the
text and spot which articles you want to
read. The article on the left is set into
columns so the page is more structured as
easy to understand. The titles for the
articles on the right are in bold and there
descriptions are in normal font, this makes
it easier to spot these stories.
5. Analysis of Double Page Spread-
Terrorizer
The double page spread has a main image that covers most of the two pages, In
this case the image is of the band that is in the article, the title for the articles is also
very large and covers a lot of the left page, the image and title will hep attract reader
to this page of the magazine when they come across it. The text it set out in columns
and is very easy to understand and read. The black text is also set displayed on a
white background with large bold capital letters at the start of a new paragraph,
this means it is easy to read across the page. The double page spread also has an
interesting fact file In the corner that tells readers that perhaps haven’t heard of this
band before learn a title bit about them in easy to understand bullet points. There is
also a colourful picture next to it to attract peoples eyes towards that corner.
Because the text ha a white background and the rest of the page has a black background
it helps the text t stand out from the rest of the page
