Analysing another rock magazine

This is another Kerrang magazine the reason I am analysing another one is because I have decided that my magazine will be about rock music and I think it would be a good idea to look at a few of their magazines rather than just one so I can develop new ideas.

On this front cover there is not much going on, the main feature is of Billy Joe Armstrong the singer from Green day, I think Kerrang do this because Green day are a big band with a huge following so if fans see the singer of Green day on the front cover of a magazine they are more likely to buy it. It isn't just die hard Green day fans that will buy this magazine as well just normal fans of music and fans of rock music will buy this magazine as well because the majority of rock fans would have heard something from Green day.

There are a few side stories that will get the readers attention because they stand out and they use words like "WIN" or "PLUS" and these words entice the reader because they feel like they can win something and they also feel like they are getting more for their money because the word "PLUS" is used for more so it makes the reader feel like Kerrang are giving them as much content as possible.

The four colours used are green, yellow, black and white these are good colours because they all complement each other and stand out. What makes it stand out is the fact that all four colours are used proportionately. The style of the font is pretty basic and I think that also makes it stand out because of the colour used on the the font and the reason that these pretty plain light colours(with the exception of black) stand out is because the background is quite plain and colourless and I think that this is quite clever by Kerrang because everything on the front cover complements eachother.
