Here are some of the NME and RWD front covers which I had to analyse the conventions that had been used and I had to also compare between them both the similarities and the differences I had noticed that both of these magazine were different because the target audience were different to one another,however, I had knew this through the color palette they had used. The similarities between these both is that they both had one image that was the main thing on the front cover. They both had teasers, masthead, text. I had used these conventions for my front cover as all magazine have these to make a complete music magazine.
In my group of three we discussed how Kerrang aim to their target audince by using their reader profile to incorporate this we had then used this as a iconography fvor our own magazine but I the genre of this magazine was not relevant for my magazine,however, I had still used this so it would help me. The readers profile shows that male readers are dominant consumers of the kerrang magazine they are 50% of the audience. The median age for this magazine is 19 year olds this revaeals that they are targetting readers who listen to rock music on a regular basis and that can afford this this is also show through the average albums which are pruchased which is 31 per a month. This magaizine provides the readers with entertainment and information about there bands and about further gigs which will be coming up. The language that is used is informal as it can engage the readers as they are young.
