Colour:The colours used are mainly very bland colours such as blacks and whites,the colour red is occasionaly used in headings and bubbles of text to add a bit more diversity to the page.The colours used are for the specific reasons of creating misery and darkness as it is a metal music magazine, this is a typical style as the stereotypical coulor for metal orientated things is black which includes,clothes and hairstyles.
Designs:Subheadings are used on the left of the page to to outline the main feature in a certain article,the heading itself has a bold title with a strange type of old english font and the brief description is then put underneath.Bigger features in the magazine have a picture with a page number on them as these pictures are normally of people of importance or are easy to recognise a descriptioj is not needed as we already know who they are.
Images:The images used on this page are of the bands featured in the article such as the picture of matt heafy at the top with the sword that picture is their because they are a big part of the magazine so they have a big picture to represent them.All of the images on the page are of bands because if we see a picture of a band that we like it will encourage us to read on about them doing this is much more intresting that just putting a brief little description on the page about whatever band doing a certain thing,people dont really get intrested by it thats why the magazine put up an exciting image to intrest people to read on.
Pose,Style,Hair,Make-up:In the images put o the page the style in each picture is different but remains basically the same through each one with each person having long hair,piercing,tatoos, which establishes the fact this is a metal orientated music magazine.Putting these images in the magazine creates a sense of comfort for the readers as they see famous band with theses sort of things which makes them fee normal oif they have the same as these people are high up in the music indusrty regardless of what they look like which could inspire other people to do the same.
How are the words used on the cover:The words on the cover are used very simply their just simple basic title with little brief descriptions underneath with the occasional picure accompanied by a page number indicating their importance.Identifying whats on each page is easy by reading the short description for some of the pages but finding out whats on the pages which just have a picture and a page number is much harder,the magazine ghas done this because they see this article as a significant part of the magazine and what you to read on and find out about it.
Language:The language used is very slang like as it just takes them a couple of words to describe whats going on such as the trivium heading which says "panic attacks engagments,accusations that they lost their metal....hammer gets to the bottom of what inspired their new album shogun which is samurais basically".This type of language wouldnt be understood in any other magazine as it is the type of language that is in a metal style magazine.
Overall impressions:i think the overall style of this contents page is done just right due to the slang type language and eye cacthing images its just right for the type audience that they are trying to attract.The style that the page is done in is done in a good typical metal style of just straight to the point with images with just a page number next to them,and also brief descriptions of each article with not too much giving away in what their saying which encourages people too read on.
