Indie/Rock due to the the use of colours the black and red and only a tiny bit of white used, looks very dark. Also the artists in the article 'My Chemical Romance', this is shown by the dark colours that they are wearing and also the style of clothing.
Reperesentation
The facial expression of the artists shows that they are dark and that they arent a pop band as a pop band would be smiling and you'd be able to see their face, as you cant always see their face it makes them seem more mysterious and also entices the reader to read the article as they dont know much about the person from the pictures. The clothes that they are wearing shows the genre mainly but also that they arent clean cut and again makes it more intresting to a potential reader
Audience
This is shown by the use of fonts which are quite grunge and the use of the colours which are black,white and red. The way that the abbreviation MCR is used shows its a young audience that it is aimed at. The band are also young so this helps to identify the target audience.
Media Language
The images in the article are black and white which almost makes the article look like a newspaper article, the guitars and mics show that they are a band and the images in the recording studio shows the reader what the article may be about, which is a new album that is coming out later in the year.
Layout
Use of images to break up the text to make it more reader friendly. Use of quote in large font, and 'the best MCR' in white to contrast the background. The text is written in white to again contrast the background. A column at the side helps to again break up the text and makes it appear like there is less to read, as it is a young audience they don't want to be reading alot.
