In lesson we were given a number of different magazines to analyze and the two that me and Callum chose were called 'Classic Rock' and the other magazine we chose was called Un-cut.
We researched into Classic Rock and discovered that the producer of the magazine was Team Rock who brought it off Future Publishers in 2003. The genre of the magazine is Rock and the target audience is people who enjoy rock music, we decided that it would be for the older generation because it's older tracks and music although people from the younger generation might enjoy that type of music to. A free CD has been advertised with 14 different rock tracks on it, this is a good way of advertising different artist and bands tracks, because if the reader listens to the CD and enjoys one of the tracks they might consider buying that artists whole CD or listening to their music online etc.
By advertising different quotes and information on the outside it makes the reader want to carry on reading and look inside.
In Classic Rock they have a variety of different advertisements mainly for different rock albums, here is an example.
By making a whole page in the magazine full of albums it is good advertisement by dotting the images of all the albums together it makes it look more interesting and eye-catching, there isnt much text so you dont get bored whilst reading through it, the only text that has been used is what is actually essential for example the name of the album and the price and where it is from. The text is located in a small bright red box above the album or under the album making it more noticable and clear. They are all cheap albums aswell so people will be more tempted to try them all out to see what they are like.
The other magazine we chose was called un-cut , this magazine has a bit more going on, on the cover, although there is a lot of information there it is still easy and clear to read as it is short titles which is in bright red or black writing. This magazine also has a free sample CD on it, which again is a good way of advertising your music if your an artist. The purpose of this magazine is to inform the reader on different storys and to entertain, and the audience is I would say for the older and newer generation because on the cover is the singer Bowie but on the free CD it says '15 tracks of the best new music for 2015'
and it is mainly the younger generation who listen to newer music but then some of the older generation may like to read about Bowie.
Both magazines included web addresses which helped advertise their producer and also artists from the magazine.
