Planning for Main Task - Music Magazine - Representation

Representation


The font on the front over of “Uncut” represents the artist as formal and serious about their music; this is because the colours used on it are bold but a mellow sort.  The font represents formality and seriousness because of the use of bold and largeness. By using these large fonts it is conventional and appeals to the audience. Also this specific font style represents loudness which signifies the rock/blues genre; it does this because of the serif flicks in the font. The main image on the front cover of “Uncut” represents the artist as a laid back figure in the rock genre through the use of a medium head shot. The use of pale coloured clothing represents the artist as formal. Also the use of instruments helps represent the relation to the genre. The representation given through the use of the pull quote on the front cover is bold because of the contrasting colours. 

The actual content of the pull quote represents the artist as driven and really likes doing the type of music he does, this is a conventional representation of the rock genre. Also the use of the text being in capital letter helps represent the artist as bold as does the use contrasting colours. The use of fonts, colours and background on this section of an existing magazine represents the characters. It represents them in a conventional way, by representing them as serious but laid back. This is because the text all contrasts and some are in blue and yellow, on a black background.
