Analysis Of Title Blocks


The title is a white single letter on a square red background which adds emphasis. It’s hard to infer the genre of ‘Q’ magazine however the mature font and simplicity would suggest it’s aimed at an adult age group. This is also hinted at due to the boring and odd title name, steering younger people’s interests away.









‘KERRANG!’ is a rock orientated magazine. Onomatopoeia has been used to make the title sound possibly like a guitar – a common instrument associated with the genre. Furthermore the lines projecting from the letters could represent the strings on a guitar. A rugged font has been used which could infer male youths are the target audience.







‘THE SOURCE’ title is very basic however its size and contrasting colours (with the background) allow it to stand out. The title may refer to the origin of Hip-hop music or could suggest this magazine has all the latest news about the genre. The microphone in-between the middle of the ‘O’ could emphasise this. A thick bold font has been used to convey masculinity therefore appealing to a male audience. The ‘THE’ has been rotated 45 degrees which creates a more casual appearance which could therefore infer the targeted audience is of a young adult.
