Typography: Typography is the art and technique of arranging type to make written language legible, readable and appealing when displayed. The arrangement of type involves selecting typefaces, point sizes, line lengths, line-spacing, and letter-spacing, as well as adjusting the space between pairs of letters.

layout:In graphic design, page layout is the arrangement of visual elements on a page. It generally involves organizational principles of composition to achieve specific communication objectives.

lexis: In linguistics, the term lexis designates the complete set of all possible words in a language, or a particular subset of words that are grouped by some specific linguistic criteria.

colour palette:In color theory, a color scheme is the choice of colors used in various artistic and design contexts. For example, the "Achromatic" use of a white background with black text is an example of a basic and commonly default color scheme in web design. Color schemes are used to create style and appeal.

Mise-en-scene: Mise-en-scène is the stage design and arrangement of actors in scenes for a theatre or film production, both in visual arts through storyboarding, visual theme, and cinematography, and in narrative storytelling through direction.

demographics look at the factual data like age,gender,marital status and income

phychographics look at the lifestyles,behaviours and attitudes  

the audience is very active and like to do things and are out there and spontaneous and this shows threw into the magazine because its got the grey scale so it shows serious like they are about there music and it looks like he is actully doing somethig then got a picture taken he is not a poser like other magazines he is most likely doing something and thats what the audience likes then theres the splash of colour red in there to make it more out there and less boring and spontaneous .

Monday 12th June 2023 

    

1) the red in the kerang magazine represents spotanious and impulse and like danger and adds a edge to it that the readers willmlike and be drawn it and the black and white maks the magazine more serious and important to show the real importance of this magazine and how it is to the readers .

2) they use average colours and nothign to out there to show that this is a everyday magazine and can relate to people and not to out there so that draws a certain type of audience for this specific magazine. 

Typography-

The font used is a self serif script style type wich could link to the style of music notes with the flicks wich is symbolic of a classical and traditional font style this could attract people who read music this reflects highly educated audiences wich reinforces traditional values of music and making music.

Lexis-

the typography used in this magazine is bold writing in san serif font i think bye using this style it makes this magazine stand out loads and makes it more prominent and bold i think this magazine is really cool as well and adds effect to look cool by having it all in black and white and then the words billboard is white but then has the bit of colour in it and thats one of the main vocal points and adds a lot to this magazine to loose the boring factor the shot type used in this magazine is a close up and i feel like this was a good move to draw attention to drake and just him so zoomed on face for more attention feature and not his body as well because its black and white and more boring.

The magazine uses a colour palet which consits of prurple,pink,blue,black,white. this saturated colour palet suggessts that the magazine is full of fun exiting and bright storys threw the saturated colour palet and the colour shows his progresseive ideas and shwos that he didnt care to break gender stereotypes.

The colour palet on this magazine is diffrent because it is none saturated and show its quite seriuous and proffetional unlike the other one where its more fun and bright colours.
