Music Magazine Analysis- The Strokes 2

This slogan acts as a sell line as it offers something which appears exclusive. ‘The final chapter’ promotes to the audience a story that hasn’t been told and an insight to the bands professional story. The use of the word ‘chapter’ makes the slogan seem effective as it presents the bands journey as a story and makes it known that this chapter has a new story to be told.

 

This puff on the magazine promotes the main article in the magazine about the band as it makes the article more appealing and interesting. This puff suggests to the audience that they are being let in on the whole story and not just the stuff that wants to be published. But also, all of the bad things that have happened along the way as well as the good.

This piece of text given acts as a promotion as it gives the magazines verdict and encourages the reader to foresee what this verdict is. The use of yellow makes it stand out on the front cover as it is placed on dull colours such as blacks and greys. ‘AM’ is promoted again in this which makes the audience more aware of its importance on the front cover.

The house style that features on this magazine front cover if fluent throughout the page. Dull colours are used which makes the white text stand out even more and target the audiences’ eye. This dull use of colour also emphasises the main subject of this article and that it is the ‘last chapter’ for The Strokes. The colour within the image makes the magazine more appealing as it brightens up the page and targets the older audience through the use of browns and nude colours. The page consists of fairly simple and bold fonts which are made instantly more appealing as they stand out on the dull background and make a bold statement. The masthead is used in the same font as what also features on the page which makes the magazine more original but the involvement of red makes it more appealing and stand out.
