3 Original Images

The reason I would use these images for my magazine is because they fit in with the genre of my magazine, indie/rock. The images that I have taken have been shot on location, I tried looking for unusual urban backgrounds to make a indie/rock vibe to the photos that would be used in my magazine.

I got my ideas for my photos from this image, i like how the model was posed and the background she was on as it gives a indie/rock vibe.

Kerrang magazine cover!

My chosen magazine cover is the Kerrang one. The audience of this magazine cover is people who listen to rock music because Kerrang is a rock based channel. Also ‘Greenday’ are presented on the front cover and they are a rock band, meaning people who are fans of ‘Greenday’ will also read this magazine. In the magazine there is a section about ‘Marilyn Manson’ and ‘Slash’ so fans of these people will also read the magazine. People going to ‘Download festival’ may also read the magazine because there is a festival guide situated in the magazine.

The text is selling things about Download the festival. Also they are selling/advertising bands to listen too, ’25 rockstars that change your world’. This is selling artists to the reader.

The attitude of the magazine is a heavy cock lifestyle. People with a rock styled personality but also like listening to rock music. The word ‘chaos’ applies a rock lifestyle as it is a heavy, punky word. Also the font and background of the title is all smashed giving a heavy metal vibe as it is all smashed up. By using bright contrasting colours also gives a rock vibe attitude.
