presentation.

Slide 1: this video is pretty much self explanatory. Matt Heafy talks about how his group has always been doing solos since 1999 and he says “I guess it takes this long to be discovered” there favourite bans are interested in it and that’s why they also do this form of music. On this clip we find an extract of the sort of music they produce. They went on tour with Metallica and they are good friends with them there hero is Metallica and matt says “that’s the best thing anyone can ever ask for, having your hero approve and like of what you’re doing”. This tells us that even though they are not well known, they are favoured by the band that they aspire t be like.


Slide 2: a natural way of reading the page is a c-flow when following conventions of a standard double page spread. A z-flow usually is used on single pages like the cover of a magazine. The eye travels from the top left hand corner of the page to the middle of the left hand page back to the right at the bottom of the page. Our eyes natural cover both the pages using this theory.
Observing the double page spread I have found that the slug is in the top left hand corer on the left sided page. This conforms to standard conventions of real magazines and is used to tell the reader what the content of the page is about.

Slide 3: the pull quote from this page says “some people have the smallest bit of fame and turn into total dicks” from this quote we can gather that the language is very colloquial we also find that perhaps they themselves know that they don’t want to be famous as they know the outcome and resolution if they did become famous. Not only can we tell from the pull quote that the language is colloquial but we can also see this through most of the content on the double page spread and throughout the magazine. It says “wanna be a rockstar? Trivium reveals the science bit” and just by this small printed words that can hardly be noticed is a column just by it given a title “avoid shit talking”. This is humorous language as it indirectly comments that “science is shit”.

Slide 4: evaluating the title “karrang” and the title “the rules of rock” of the double page spread I find that the same style is consistent throughout. When looking at “karrang” it looks like there are light rays in the word which could suggest raving and night clubs and the deformity of the words also suggests that there isn’t stability in the people who may buy the magazine.
Looking at the deformity of the word “rock” we can see that it looks like the texture of something solid like a rock that is disintegrating. This is like the title of the magazine which makes it consistent.

Slide 5: from the magazine cover and the double page spread you can see that there are a few linkages to help make the magazine look consistent throughout. The main cover line is written across the page and similarly the title of the double page spread is also diagonal. Another linkage is the positioning of the people in the image there are four people on the cover and four people on the double page spread. Most of the text on the cover and double page spread is on the right and side. And finally the colour of the text is usually white.

Slide 6: buzz words like rules and secrets word appeal to the core buyer as it attracts and entices the reader to read on further. The word rules give the reader the impression that these are guidelines or a religious book which makes it seem like rock has its own individual religion. And the word secrets tempt the reader to believe that the content reveals something that couldn’t be revealed anywhere else.
