LIIAR analysis of music magazines

This double page spread is from 'rolling stone'. It has a very relaxed and calm feeling about it as the page is not filled with lots off different features and fonts which makes the pages look very simple and effective.
The main feature of this article is the image that goes across both of the pages. The image is of Amy Winehouse laid on a bed. It is a set up photograph in a studio. The photo was taken with a final result in mind because her position, the lighting and setting was all thought out to work together in this double page spread. The image is in black and white, looking very natural and the room she is in is very light, looking like it is lit up by natural lighting. The room and bed are bare and plain to not distract us from Amy and the article.  The article itself is place over the main image, and is written in small, black text. To fit with the colour scheme and the calm feel to the double page spread. The layout is also very delicate and neat, with two small, even columns.
This Double page spread is aimed at adults both male and female. It will appeal to a male audience because she is wearing a revealing outfit and laid in a casual but suggestive position. Females will look up to her and will relate to her. She also looks very glamorous and stylish within the image. The main title/ masthead  of this double page spread looks like it has been written in ink which matches the content 'Amy's ink house'

This contents page is very bold, jam packed and structured. The layout is very organised as it is separated in different sections. For

example the banner across the top holding the mast head, the column down the right that includes page numbers. The main image at the top left. There are lots of different font types and sizes, this creates disorientation for the audience for a second but this then  tells our eyes where to look on the page.
The contents is very clear and informative as headings are used for example 'news' 'reviews' 'live' this is so that the audience can easily find what they are looking for.
The main image on the page has been taken from a live gig. This makes the audience feel like they are watching the performance and involved with the magazine.
The colour scheme, genre and content play a part in the target audience of this magazine contents. It is clear that its for indie/rock music lovers coming from the picture of a band playing their instruments and the NME logo itself. But the other features tell me that this specific contents page is aimed at males over females. For examples the colours used, red, white and black. These colours clash and are strong and manly together also representing the genre of the magazine.
