KERRANG.  Kerrang is a rock genre music magazine, its target audience is young adults and adults and anyone really who is into this music. The 'House Style' used on this magazine appeals to their audience because its bright flashy, which is what young adults like, it catches your eye and the font is all in capitals which really shows that this magazine is a rock magazine, which is what the viewer likes and wants. As well with the layout on the images the audience can clearly see the image and the people who they listen to which makes them like the magazine more.













NME.   NME is a rock, alternative and indie music magazine, Its target audience is teens and young adults or are into a variety of different music. The 'House Style' used on this magazine appeals to the audience as well as being quite simple it also strikes the audience eye when they look it at, because this magazine has a variety of different music the front cover is quite bland to show and represent this and also to show its different. While the font and writing might stay the same the picture on the front cover wont showing its a varied magazine. As well as being plain it dose not shout out at other people and actually being simple makes people more interested in reading as there not sure what genre it is.

 Classical music. its a classical music genre so no singing just instrumental music. The target audience would probably be elderly people and people who enjoy this music. The 'House Layout' appeals to the target audience because its not jumping out at you its much more delicate and calm as the colours used here are not bright but actually a bit dull to show how old the music is and this is why it appeals to elderly people more. as well the layout of the writing and font is quite classy to show its been around for a long time but its also simple to show the delicacy of classical music. As well the magazine is made to                                                                                     look old
especially on this black and white page to represent how long this type of music has been around for.
