Title Block Analysis

From looking and reading this title block you can tell that the magazine this title belongs to genre is rock and pop music. This is because the name rolling stone refers to a rock and pop concert held annually in the United States of America so it is obvious that this magazine genre may be rock and pop music.

The colours in the title block tell me that this magazine may be rated or have a target audience of people aged 17 and over. This is because the colour read is normally associated with sexual or red hot content unsuitable for viewing of minors.

The font used here tells us that the magazine is rather old and may feature old artists this is because the font he is really old a bit like 1970s font curved and slightly slanted which gives the impression of old content.

The title itself tells me that this magazine is a music magazine because of the style of the title and the title itself which gives the impression of 1970s music through the sheer appearance of the title itself.

The title gives me information that the target audience for this magazine might be young adults aged 22 to  30 who remember music in the 1970s or so and want to read a magazine which still features the classic bands and singers of the past the title gave me this idea through its 1970s style of text and font.

You can’t really tell what the genre of this magazine is from looking at this title mainly because the title is very concise an simple with only one letter and that letter is Q so to be able to know what genre this magazine is form just looking at this title isn’t possible.

The colours in the title tell me that this magazine wants to attract the attention of passerby’s this is because of the use of bright and vibrant colours such as red and white which really stick out in a magazine front cover and so catches a passersby’s eyes and interests them.

The font used here is a large white Q which really does not tell you much about the genre of this magazine or about the magazine itself as a whole so it really does not really create meaning other than that this magazine might be quite simple seen through the simple title Q.

The title itself does not really tell me anything about the magazine other than the magazine might be quite simple and its text might not be too complicated which is inferred by the simple one letter title Q.

The title tells me that the target audience for this magazine may be 18 to 23 year olds who want a simple magazine which is not cluttered with useless annoying text, big buzz words and fake competitions just a simple magazine containing simple yet well written stories and articles.

From the title I can tell that the magazine this title belongs to is a music magazine with the music genre known as heavy metal.

The colours in this title tell me that they have been used in order to make the white lines in the lettering stick out more in order to draw the attention of possible readers who may get attracted to the style of the title thus increasing the number of readers and purchases.

The font of this title is large and shattered this tells me that this magazine is a music magazine of the heavy metal genre as seen through the cracks in the lettering and the large font which can be associated with loud music through its style. I believe this title creates the meaning of heavy metal being extremely loud as seen through the style of lettering that shows various cracks implying that heavy metal music shatters windows or glass in general.

The title “KERRANG” itself tells me that this magazine is a music magazine centred on the loudest music genre known as heavy metal. The title also tells me that this magazine will have a lot of content about heavy metal bands or solo artists as well as a lot of content that figuratively jumps out of the page through the use of large font and style which can all be inferred from the title.

This title gives me information and tells me that the target audience for this magazine maybe 16 to 22 year olds who enjoy and listen to heavy metal music regularly and want a magazine specifically for the heavy metal music genre which suits all their needs in terms of finding out the latest news and albums from the favourite heavy metal bands and solo artists.
