Magazine analysis

'Rock Sound' is a magazine clearly aimed for a rock audience, most likely in the younger generation, aimed around the ages 15 - 24. Incorporating bright colors with upbeat, pleasant images, 'Rock Sound' definitely gives of a strong 'indie' vibe, and would clearly appeal to this type of audience. Whilst the focus of the magazine is clearly orientated towards the band 'The Automatic', there is lots more information packed in, almost in a a sort of messy style. This reflects the overall vibe of 'Rock Sound' in general, messy, untidy, and in many ways defiant; all aspects of the typical rock genre. 

As a banner, 'Rock Sound' offers the prospect of 'massive posters', this would specifically appeal to teenagers looking to decorate their room, and helps greatly in deciding upon the audience that the magazine is aimed towards. The slogan 'Music with attitude' also gives off the impression that 'Rock Sound' is aimed towards a teenage audience, teens have always been associated with rebelion, and attitude falls under this category.
