Title block analysis

I have analysed different title blocks from popular music magazines. By analysing these title blocks I can try and figure out what I want my title block to look like and what stands out to the audience.

Title Block Analysis

	The colours in the title block are red and white, similar to the mainstream tabloid magazines such as the Sun. You can tell that the genre of the magazine isn’t going to be something like rock because the colours are quite bright, not black or dark colours it is most likely going to be hip hop or R&B because of the bright colours.  Rolling stone is usually associated with the old but popular and iconic band ‘’the rolling stones’’ which means the title of the magazine is related with iconic music.
	The colours in this title block are red and white like the popular tabloid magazines such as the sun. They tell you that the magazine is going to be mainstream and the genre will most likely be something like hip hop or R&B. The title of the magazine is NME, which is quite short and snappy; this might mean that the magazine is going to be the same, short snappy articles and nothing too serious. It also says under the title block ‘’new musical express’’ which is obviously what NME stands for, this tells us that the music featured in NME will be new and maybe not the traditional mainstream artists.
	.The title of this magazine is KERRANG! The title automatically gives off a punk/rock type of vibe. Along with the name of the title it is also in black which again suggests that the genre is going to be rock, they also use a exclamation mark at the end of the word KERRANG which implies that the title is being shouted, a lot like rock music. The target audience for this magazine would be people that are interested in rock music, the title shows this with the colour, the bold capital font and the exclamation mark
