Research + Planning: Magazine Review


The genre of this magazine is alternative, I can tell because of the way that Twenty-One Pilots are dressed and made up on the front of the cover. The colours are bright and bold making it stand out and makes it look more intense and hardcore. The fonts used are also quite bold, intense and in your face. All of the bands including in the magazine are mostly alternative or pop punk which makes this magazine fit in that catagory

On the front of the cover are Twenty-One Pilots who make Indie Rock music. On the cover they are represented quite threatening which goes along with the main masthead 'Leaders of the New World Order' so Tyler Joseph is pointing at the reader to made it more intense.

The audience of this magazine would probably be directed at teenage boys as the music is more hardcore so more boys might be into it, also I know its directed at teenages because the magazine comes with free stickers and posters which would probably be more suited for teenagers.

The shot type they have used is a low, long shot to make them seem more intimidating, the colours are very bold to make it pop and stand out.



This magazine is also alternative rock, I can tell because the main picture of Oli Sykes and he is screaming he is also very heavily tattooed and all of the bands on the cover are quite harcore and screemo.

Oli Sykes is being represented as quite hardcore and intense, that is so the magazine appeals to people who enjoy that type of image and music.

The target audience of this magazine would be teenage girls who are quite alternative because they would look up to Oli Sykes and the other bands on this magazine. Also the magazine is usually about concerts and has posters which will appeal to young girls as they can put the pictures up in their bedroom.

The shot type is a long shot so you can see more of his outfit and tattoos which emphasises the fact that this magazine is directed towards a more alternative audience as this would appeal to them.
