Title blocks's anaysis

I have analysed three magazine title blocks.



















Q is a world know magazine and has been known for feature plenty of artist such as Cheryl Cole, Madonna and lily Allen. This title block of Q stands out, this is because of the kind of colours that are used. The red background allows the white Q to stand out. The font is in an italic form which makes the title look more effect and eye catching.

 







Vibe magazine is an urban magazine and usually features hip-hop, R&B and rappers such as Beyonce, T.I and Kelly Rowland it has been around for a long time and its title block is a very famous one. The title block font is in capital letters which make it quick to notice and this goes along with the colour of it, which is red. Red usually symbolises strength and this could imply that vibe magazine is a very strong ongoing magazine that is world know. The black background allows the red letters to stand out and gives it a 3D look.

 




Kerrange is a rock magazine that have feature the best rock artist in the world. The title block stands out and the black font goes along with the rock theme and when people think about rock they think of black which is a stereotypical view. The white crack going though the block capital word gives it and edgy look and not a clean cut look.
