Conventions of Uncut






Uncut is a UK music magazine that also features film reviews as well as interviws and news. As an institution Uncut is mainly a magazine but it used to produce a DVD magazine as well.
Uncut's audience are probably middle age as it features quite a lot of older music as well as some new music. Uncut has an ideology where old music is important. A piece of media language that shows this is the headline, 'The Beatles'.
In the front covers of the magazine there are two really different colour schemes because one is really coloured whereas the other one is really bland with only, grey, white, red and black which shows that Uncut doesn't have a typical colour scheme for each magazine. Both covers have a line at the top of the magazine, 'The Return of Blur', which shows that Uncut follows the conventions of a typical music magazine as it also has subtitles and no more than two pictures.
