This blog entry is too show the idea of a magazine of the same genre. Here i have uploaded to examples, they are both the magazine Kerrang, which include My Chemical Romance and Green Day. Therefore the genre for this music magazine is Rock. I will show the things that are the same about the house style of this magazine to show that magazines of the same genre generally have the same house style. The first thing that is similar about the magazines is the 'broken headline' this shows the masthead Kerrang to be 'broken' and 'shattered' this shows that this is a Rock magazine as it resembles anger and loudness. The semiotics are also similar, the colours yellow and red and pink are used in order to grab the viewers attention. These colours are used on things such as headlines and banners. The rest of the front cover is generally either white or black resembling the rock genre, therefore the colour contrast between this is useful. The general layout of images is the same for the magazine covers, everything is very packed together and cluttered around the page, again this suggests the Rock Genre, as it is very 'messy' and 'uncared for' almost resembling a Rock Concert? The text of the front covers suggests the genre to be very hard and bold, as block capitals and bold font is used.
