Comparison of Magazines

Music Magazine Comparison:

If you compare these two magazines from different genres of music you can see differences looking at the cover of magazines that appeal to people who like those genres.

Based on the house colours used by these two magazines we see the pop magazine (left) being a lot more vibrant and colourful using pink and white in the headline and the background, whereas in the Kerrang magazine we see darker colours those being  red, black and the black background make's it look more gritty and will appeal more to people who like rock, metal style of music. The colours can represent the genre of the music. The Kerrang magazine seems to appeal to an older age group with the darker colours and the Pop magazine seems to appeal to a younger generation with the bright colours used on the cover.

Another comparison is the amount of buzzwords used on the Pop magazine is higher showing what looks like most of the stories in the magazine itself and the Kerrang magazine contains fewer buzzwords which seem to focus on the artists featured in the magazine. This could be due to people who would buy Kerrang would want more focus on their favourite band/artist and want more information about them.
