Textual Analysis of Kerrang magazine. Part 2.

Image:

• The shot type of the image within the contents page is a medium long shot as you can see the man's entire body apart from the lower half of his legs.
• The lighting within the image is reflected light due to the fact that you can see the light is within the image is dim hence illustrating that the original light source had reflected off of the red background.
• The costume within the image is very old fashioned and is tailored to the man's body.
• The make-up used within the image is black eye-liner.

Conventions of page layout:

• The font choices used within the contents page consist of two different fonts.
• The information included on the contents page is placed on the right margin of the page in order to allow space for the image to be on the contents page.
• A text box is used on the top right hand corner of the content which includes information based on Kerrang's yearly Rock Confessions issue.
• On the right margin of the contents page, the information included consists of News, Features, Posters, Lives, Reviews and Gigs.
• There is a relationship within the image and the text within the text box. This is because the information within the text box includes bands telling Kerrang things they usually wouldn't tell anyone else hence leading me to assuming the image includes a band member that has told Kerrang that he likes to dress up in an old fashioned way.

Genre:

• The genre of Rock music is portrayed within the contents page due to many reasons. One of which include the fact that a lot of people, especially that are in to Rock music tend to wear make up which is illustrated within the image of the contents page.
• However, the costume included within the image may suggest otherwise due to the fact the the clothes the man is wearing look smart and non rock-like.
