Research and Planning: Music Magazine Anaysis 2

I believe that this magazine is strictly a metal magazine rather than metal/rock like the first one I analyses. Unfortunately I don't recognize any of the bands but i can deduce that 'Manic Street Preachers' and 'Last Shadow Puppets' are metal bands.
Generally i would say that this has the same audience as the last magazine analyses that i did however i would comment tat it the minimum age may be a bit higher than the previous magazine. (as it looks more violent than the last). this is basically because of the 3 colours used being black red and gold, the red and gold writing stands off of the black background efficiently which makes the magazine eye catching and most likely is what draws in its audience to it at first. I mentioned the 3 colour rule however this magazine breaks convention and uses a 4th colour as white, this is once again to most probably make it stand out from the rest by breaking convention. the man stood as the central image has a determined facial expression this gives the impression that he knows what hes doing and wants to do it right. (which would be the concert as same as the image before it is a live shot at the concert) the camera had taken the image from a low angle while being zoomed in to a medium long shot this was done as it makes it seems like a picture was taken from one of the people in the crowd or even a type of point of view. this gives off the impression that this guy/brand is brilliant as everyone is staring right at him in awe combined with his determined face and his upright posture it does give off the impression that he is brilliant and you should like him because hes trying as hard as he can to do the best concert possible. The layout is interesting as you have what i think is the most important story in the middle of the screen, whats interesting is the fact that they have it blocking out so much of the central image making it seem like the image isn't the focus f attention. this could mean that the would like to focus on the articles rather than the bands and the music, which would differ from the previous.
