Magazine essay
My first magazine is called "N-Gamer" issue #19, February 2008. My second is “Kerrang” issue #1229 September 27 2008
“N-gamer” magazine is aimed at children aged 6-12. This is shown because it has a big bold title and lodes of different characters looking happy or existed. These characters are all very colourful and appealing to young children. Some of them are also famous characters including Mario, pacman, link, sonic and snake.
It has a big caption saying "Nintendo's best year ever" (Mott: 2008: 2008: 1) this is telling people that there are lots new games coming out. This makes children intrigued and wanting to know what new games are coming out in 2008.
The other magazine is Kerrang. It is aimed at 13-17.this is because there are older people on the front, with angry looks on there face. Also the title is black and shattered like an amp has smashed it. This shows that people who read this magazine listen and/or play music.
There are many differences between the two magazines show in the textual and picture code. Firstly the colours are very different; the coulers on the “N-gamer” are mostly reds and blues because Nintendo’s logo is the same colours. This makes people who buy the magazine associate the link between Nintendo and “N-gamer”. On the other hand the “Kerrang” mag is mostly blacks and reds. This is because it is for a “darker” audience such as “grungers”. This shows that then person who would buy this are “hard” or tuff and like rock music
Another big difference is the people expression. On “Kerrang” the people look aggressive and “too cool for school”. This shows that the people who buy this magazine like to listen to rock music. As well as this it says “northern uproar!”(David: 2008:2008:1). This tells us that the people on the front want a fight. On the other hand “N-gamer” has many characters that look happy. This and the fact it says “Nintendo’s best year ever” (Mott: 2008: 2008: 1) this implies that the people are happy because of this.
At the bottom of the page on “Kerrang” there are others pictures of singers looking very aggressive. This tells the target audience that it is to do with aggressive music.

lesson 1 (24/9/08)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerrang!
Kerrang! is a weekly Rock magazine published by Bauer Consumer Media in the United Kingdom. The magazine's title is onomatopoeic and derives from the noise made when smashing an electric guitar. Kerrang! was first published on the 6 June 1981, edited by Geoff Barton, initially as a one-off supplement in the Sounds newspaper devoted to the current New Wave of British Heavy Metal (or 'NWOBHM' for short) and the rise of other hard rock acts such as AC/DC, who appeared on Kerrang!’s first cover. During the 1980s and early 1990s the magazine placed many thrash and glam metal acts on the cover (like Mötley Crüe, Slayer, Bon Jovi, Metallica, Poison, Testament) but later discarded them when grunge acts such as Nirvana rose to fame. Readers often criticise the magazine for repeating this process every time a new musical trend becomes popular; for example, Prince was heavily featured around the time of the release of Purple Rain, including a cover, and there are also issues in the 1980s featuring U2 and Big Country. More recently, there are many complaints about Kerrang!'s current emphasis on emo and metalcore music, particularly stemming from the fact that the magazine continually printed issues with My Chemical Romance on the front cover for several weeks, following the release of their album, The Black Parade. However, Ville Valo of Him appears on the cover more often than any other star.[citation needed]
