What i've Learnt From My Research and How It Informs Planning?

From my research I've learnt that music magazines are very persuasive in what they write, they write with encouraging and persuasive language to ensure that the reader will want to purchase the magazine. Music magazines also appear to use similar visual layouts with their front covers their contents page and even on their double page spreads. Image sizes and the same with font sizes are used normally to show the importance of a story which also adds to the encouragement of the reader. The colours used appeared to vary between what the magazine was and especially what genre of music it was promoting, for example Kerrang! used colours such as red and yellow to show more aggression whereas a magazine like Q used very dull colours such as black and white to show a more relaxation feel to the magazine.
