Summary of Magazine Analysis

After studying various indie rock magazines, i have discovered that they all incorporate similar features. For example:

• The colour scheme for the cover text is often red, white and black, with the use of yellow where the text is required to really stand out.
• The main sell will feature quirky and original artists, who readers will aspire to be like.
• Cover lines and reversed out cover lines are used to give the cover variety; if it was kept plain and simple, the magazine would loose it's sense of edginess.
• Articles inside of the magazine are often supported with images of famous band members, giving the reader a better idea of what is being described in the article.
