What is genre?

‘A style or category of art, music and literature.’

Pop rock is a music genre which mixes a

catchy pop style and light lyrics in its

(typically) guitar-based rock songs. There

are varying definitions of the term, ranging

from a slower and mellower form of rock

music to a subgenre of pop music.

Pop

Rock

Use of colors are mainly red, white, blue

and black. The theme of this magazine

would be quite gothic with the dark black

make up around the eyes and the white

face. The font is bold and in your face, the

font of the text stands out sitting on a black

background as well as the capitols. The

sell lines used are quite short however

catchy causing people to want to read on

, and the photography is also catching to

the eye, something about the main

photo makes you want to read more as

it is a bold feature with interesting

effects, the model is wearing quite dim

colors black over coat and a white color

but the white face brings out bright

colors, this particular magazine cover

doesn't used props.

This magazine uses a lot more bright color, there is

lots of pinks and purple which indicates it focuses

more on the pop rather than rock, this magazine

theme is quite girlie as Britney spears appeals to

young girls, the use of bright feminine colors also

suggests a feminine theme. There is several fonts

used on this cover the use of italics on the main sell

line draws people in and appeals to the younger

generation. the article sell lines are aimed at

younger people due to its lexical choices such as

'pop star' and 'oh behave, Britney!' The main photo

used on this magazine cover is Britney Spears she

does have quite a lot of flesh showing however the

top she is wearing is quite rock with the one sleeve

and slit and there is a smaller photo of a band

wearing all black which stands out due to all the

bright colors, Once again this magazine doesn't use

any props.

This magazine is also based around red and

black colours like the mojo magazine front

cover similarly there is the same white washed

out face and back ground with dark lips and eye

Make up which seems to be a common feature

of rock/pop magazines, the models style is also

black and white which stands out on the

background.

The title is quite hidden by the model however it is a

bold font, the text at the bottom of the magazine is

italic which stands up as well throughout the front

cover uses varied aspects of bold and italic fronts.

There is catchy article sell lines such as ‘the girl who

broke the rules’ which sounds appealing.

This magazine colour is unlike any other magazine

cover i have analysed as it is quite busy in the way that

It has lots of bright colours and lots going on there

However is still a lot of use of yellow black and red!

The model in this magazine doesn’t have a top on

However he has several tattoos which is related to

Gothic things and is quick rock. The font on this cover

varies the kerrang title appears to have a glass smash

effect, there is a lot of bold and italic text and a wide

choice of fonts. There is lots of advertisement of bands

and artists and selling features such as ‘5 awesome

posters’ This magazine cover has one prop, the use of

the camera I feel is quite effective and also relates to the

tag line ’Oli Sykes hot shots!’.
