Background- Metal Hammer magazine is a heavy metal magazine which is published once a month in the united kingdom. It is the largest selling metal magazine in the UK.
Language- The language used for this Magazine can be seen with all the conventions of a typical music magazine for example Camera angle, Colour, Font , Point of view, Mast head, Photos, Price tag, Date and many more diffrent conventions. The Mast head is very unique because of what message it has to petray. Metal Hammer itself is a strong and powerful name for a music magazine. The word "Hammer" is made to look as if it has been painted or someone has Graffited on and also it has paint dripping down maybe showing it was done quick as a rebellius act maybe showing the music they support is a rebbelius sort of music. The picture shows four members from the band "Avenge sevenfold" which are a world renound heavy rock band. They pertray this by the way they dress and the props they use in the shoot they used for the front cover of the magazine. In the photo it shows the main band leader sat on what looks like a skull drum symbalising death and also power for the main singer because he has been brought forward in the picture. The other band members are stood behind the band member sat on the drum. Two of them are wearing sunglasses whilst one of them isnt this may show that they see darkness instead of light. The band members also seem to have lotts of tattoos on their arms. Tattoos symbalise power and status and also is linked to Rock band singers. This picture is most defonetly photoshoped you can tell this because of the background In the picture. One thing i noticed is that the Mast head is in darkness but near the bottom there is a horizen maybe symbolising a new dawn. The band member who is sat down is also is putting his palms together making it seem as though he is praying for something and postioned on the wall behind him is an angel but it does not look like an angelic angel which we all dipict as being one it is a male angel not female and its is in darkness and has black wings maybe trying to show a Rock Angel There is also a tag line with a quote from the band which reads "our first thought was .' It's over.' It isn't. This is how jimmy will live on" This quote would make people intrested in the magazine to find out what it may mean. The price tag is also on the magazine which allows people to see how much the magazine causes and also the date is on the magazine to allow the customer to see if the Magazine is relevant for that time.
Ideology-
Institution- Metal Hammer is owned by "Future" and they are a publishing business. they Integrate new media with magazine publishing, Metal Hammer brands capture the excitement of the fast-moving sectors they operate in, providing a direct line of communication to a wide audience, at a time when they are at their most involved and engaged.
Audience- The main audience for Metal hammer magazine would probally be for middle aged men this is because of the age of most of the men that are perseved in pictures and the advertisments in the magazines for example there is a full page in the magazine advertising sex lines and this is typically directed at single men there are also adds for Motorbikes and also Alcohol so it is not a magazine in which a minor or someone under the legal age of driving, Buying Alcohol or having sex should read. The price of the magazine also may pertray the type of person to buy the magazine because most people who don't have alot of money would not be able to afford £4.25 because this is a very steap selling price for your average teenager. The Magazine is a Heavy metal magazine so it would be ideal for someone who is into that sort of music.
Representation- Metal Hammer represents people that are into Heavy Rock and people who enjoy to learn more about Bands and also upcoming gigs and concerts.
