Magazine Analysis

Cockney Rejects

Image & Typography

The image of this magazine advert of the cockney rejects is quite plain but I do think the look of the whole thing, with the writing being wonky and overlapping in some places. Its lacks some colour but that’s because it’s quite an old band and were more popular 20 years ago rather than know. The picture is very clear what it is going to have in the magazine and how much it will cost also where to purchase it. I do like the writing and the whole type writer look they were going for, it suit the black and white colours scheme they have gone for.

Layout

It’s a very basic layout and nothing out of the ordinary like you would get know days but it goes well I think with the music they play, for me it gives off the vibe that they haven’t put as much effort into it because of the plainness of it however that what punks were meant to be aloof and no being scared to be different and what people think. So they have related it will to their music and what they represent.

They have put the picture in the middle of the advert to catch the eye of the public, which will get people’s attention just because it’s their greatest hits. As always on any advertisement the title is at the top to make sure they know what the advert is about. It even gives you specifics on where to get the album in the bottom left corner of it.

Colour Scheme

The colour scheme on this is like what I said early is just black and white with black used more in the advert. To me it looks like they have gone for the newspaper look to try keep it old fashioned. It looks like they have cut the words out of something to get the collage look which is a thing they have done on some of their album covers but have added colour onto them.
