PREP Write freely about the house style of Clash music magazine. Your focus is on 'media language', that is, how the musicians are represented, layout, font, colour and so on.

Clash magazine has quite a unique house style that is different to many other music magazines. The Magazines all  have large sans-serif block text, always in white, and sometimes add a tumbling effect to the edition number. 
The front covers are very clean and have little text, which reduces the clutter of the page. Clash present their musicians in a somewhat surreal way, sometimes using vibrant colours and sometimes monochrome. Sometimes the musician is partly out of shot and sometimes there is a close-up on their face. In one magazine the musician is presented as saint-like - gazing up in an angelic way - and in another front cover, the musician is presented as "untouchable", since they appear to be looking down their nose at the reader.
