over all I'm going to use bold colours and text, like Kerrang have done which has given the magazine a rebellious angery feel which i really like. because of the research i have done, i now know that is the best to give my magazine a rock style theme. magazines such as NME and Kerrang have given alot of inspiration i need to make my magazine.

NME front cover research

i like this front cover because of its bold title MUSE, which is unmissable on the front cover. there is also a quote froom them "if everyone slags us off, then fine" this gives a great feel of bad attitude and a rebellious band. the theme of red and white has been used very well making the titles and sub titles stand out.
i
i also found a diffrent style of the kerrang logo. this one is red, they are still using bold colours. the red and white work really well. it create the theme of the magazine. there is now a slogan "life is loud" i like this because it fits very well into rock music theme, it suits the magazine very well in a chaotic theme

Kerrang logo research

i also like the kerrang logo as well. this magazine has also used colours that stands out very bold. i like the font of this logo it show the magazine is chaotic and angry. they have also added the website too, under the logo which is a good idea to promote the magazine and get the consumer more used to and loyal to your magazine

logo research

I have research many music logos. the logo of a magazine plays a big part in keeping the consumer used to it look and its name. i like how the colours and very bold and diffrent. giving the magazine a theme of red, black and white.

i like this magazine cover because of its style of chaos. the fonts used fit the style of rock music. just by the front cover there is a clear understanding of what the magazine is about. i like the typical style of rock music magazines because the consumer because used to the frantic lay out and font used.
the headlines in promise much more than one band, it shows many types of rock bands to attract more people.

photo shoot research

this is a band called three days grace. i like this photo because it shows them as real people, the location is in a town. i also like how the photo gives them a rebellious look without trying to show that too much

photo shoot research

this is a photo shoot from the band Metallica. this has inspired me for my photo shoot because it is a very typical rock image look and gives a clear distiction of their attitude. you can see each band member if diffrent, because of there diffrent poses.
 
 
 
 
This front cover of the rock band Metallica,  has been done very well to show the style of music, and each of there personality just by the one photo.
i like the caption of "madness!mayhem!sex addiction!" above Metallica. i think it work really well in potrying the style and life style of this band. this front cover has been a great inspration to me.

GRASS

i have researched many music magazines and i have choose who im targeting my magazine Shockwave at.
im going for a typical rock music audiance, my magazine is going to target young/teen males. but females are also open to this magazine. but typically more young males buy these types of magazine from age 13-24.
my magazine isnt focused too much at age or sex, it depends on the consumer enjoys rock music, because my magazine lives up to the typical rock image.
