You must analyse the front page, contents and double page spread of three diverse music magazines. This will probably involve buying some of them. They should not be any older than 2014.
You must go into more depth in terms of the analysis than you did for the 6th form magazine. Use the checklist after this powerpoint to ensure you are covering the key areas. You may find it useful to analyse according to 'GLARN'. Some of the elements will be interchangeable.
GENRE- which genre/s of music? Niche/mainstream, established, retrospective or new artist/band. Brand identity
LANGUAGE- discourse of layout/copy. House style,
AUDIENCE- demongraphic, psychographic, values and lifestyles? Who is the target audience- how can you assess this?
Stuart Hall's theory- what would the preferred, oppositional, negotiated meaning be?
REPRESENTATION- how are bands/artists represented?
NARRATIVE - what 'stories' are being told? In what manner? Confidential, authoritive, as an insight into artists/bands lives, inspiration or as a guide to the best tracks, gigs, festivals?
