PREP Write freely about the house style of Clash music magazine. Your focus is on 'media language', that is, how the musicians are represented, layout, font, colour and so on.
The Clash magazine has a very unique style compared to other magazines, unlike most music magazines; the main splash takes up the whole page. This is a way of glorifying the star, showing that they are the most important spectacle they will see in the magazine. The special edition of the magazines have a number on the side of the front cover, the number uses a serif font in order to resemble an authenticity to the magazine. The number also appears to be falling, this could be resembling disorder. This is to show that the stars they feature don't conform to society, they are the rebels of music.

ReplyDeleteYou make thoughtful comments on the main splash and the issue number.
There are many things that you do not comment on, such as the clean, uncluttered, pared-down look and layout, the blocky sans-serif masthead.
The issue to stress is the ARTISTIC treatment of the musicians on the covers. You did not profit from the opportunity to deconstruct the many creative, unusual and striking poses and representations.
