Analysing Rock genre magazines

In this task i will be analysing my chosen genre of music magazines for my main task which is rock.

A                                                                                             B
                 



A-  Rock sounds cover has The main image is of the band called paramore.we see a girl at the front leaning with her index finger in front of her lips. Behind the girl there is the rest of the band, four guys standing with hands in their pockets. The girl being in the centre suggests she’s the most important member of the band and that she’s a lead singer also the finger over her lips suggest she’s telling us a secret which links to the cover line “ the future revealed”. This is challenging the stereotype of usually the band being only men. Here Paramore is represented as very stylish and outgoing and fun as they are wearing bright cloths and the girl has orange bright hair.

B- In the cover of the Kerrang magazine we see a image of the lead singer of green day. There’s a guitar hanging over his shoulder and his looking to the side. The wet hair suggests this picture was taking at a concert. This is an archetype as you would usually see a lead singer with a guitar on the cover and also it’s a white male with long black hair which is stereotypical to the this genre.. He is represented as this violent and aggressive this is suggested by the black cloths.
