Music Magazines: Contrast and Compare.

Music Magazines: Contrast and Compare. 


Kerrang! music magazine: 
The music magazine Kerrang mainly focuses on the rock genre of music and has quite a bold bright front cover. It focuses on many rock bands such as Black Veiled Brides and Bring Me The Horizon. The magazine covers a lot of interviews with the bands about new albums and tours that they plan to go on in the next few months. I would say that Kerrang mainly focuses on a readership made up of teenagers. The publisher of the magazine is a company called Bauer Media Group and their magazine has a very clear and appealing layout, as it draws the reader to look at the cover and then look inside.

Q music magazine: 

The music magazine Q also focuses on the rock genre of music and has quite a dull, boring front cover. It focuses on many rock bands such as U2. The magazine covers a lot of interviews with the bands about new albums and iTunes festival events. I would say that Q mainly focuses on a readership made up of young adults to adults. The publisher of the magazine is also Bauer Media Group. However this magazine has a more mature cover design.  

Radio Advertisements.

Radio Adverts.

This is a radio advert for Warburtons bread, there's no music played in the background but there is a child speaking and a beep quite alike an answer phone machine. This advert is used as a commercial for  Warburtons' bread.

2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRScPQzgxqg

This is a radio advert about the RAF airforce. It describes all of the positions on offer when you sign up to join the RAF. The SFX's are airplane jets roaring and soldiers marching. This advert is used as a form of recruitment for the RAF.

3) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLvBRCyNHJs

This is a radio advert about the price drop in Tescos stores. It describes all of the products on offer and is used as a commercial for Tesco stores.

These radio adverts are well thought out and are clear and easy to understand what they are advertising. Each one uses different SFX and music to describe each item being discussed/ advertised. Radio adverts don't just have to be used for commercial reasons, like the advert for the RAF, they can also be used for things like recruitment into the army force.
