Clash Magazine

Clash Magazine use a range of media language including modern, clean front covers. On all the magazines clash have used a minimal amount of text which differentiates from the usual style of music magazines. This could connote their views into futuristic ideas such as the faded and falling issue numbers of the magazine.

Clash have also used an open plan layout with the main splash taking up most of the page. By allowing the readers the see the whole of the artist portrayed on the front cover, it convey all the attributes of the artist to them, allowing the reader to understand the style and individual ways of the artists. For example Travis Scott is portrayed on the cover in a pink colour scheme, with rough clothing and a tattooed upper half connoted a rebellious and hard look as he is a rapper.

Clash also do different issues to of magazines which we can see by their collage magazine with an orange cover line. By having a collage of different members of their faces, particularly their eyes, it allows the band to be connoted as easy going, friendly people, which we don't really see in normal music magazines where the artists are looking away connoting them as godly figures.

    Thoughtful observations about the clean style, the minimal coverlines, the distinctive issue number.
    The main splash is not quite as you describe: we do not "see the whole of the artist". What is the effect of this more 'artistic' representation? Good comments on Travis Scott, collage style.
