1. The masthead is
big and bold and
stands out, even
though it’s
slightly covered
up. And it looks
smashed which
suggests that it’s
a rough
magazine.
All the people in
the little pictures
down the
bottom are
singing into a
microphone.
The suits in the
picture contrast
with what Kerrang
usually show
The font is bold
and easy to read,
and is the same
for all the
titles/subtitles on
the cover page
It has used
graphic features
and has loads of
stuff packed in
which suggests
the magazine has
lots to offer

2. The colours on
the cover of this
magazine are too
electronic for a
heavy metal
magazine.
All the different
fonts make the
cover of the
magazine look too
busy, and it’s a bit of
a put off.
The masthead is
bold and stands
out, but again looks
too electronic for a
heavy metal band.
It’s good that he is
looking straight at
the camera
because it looks
like he’s looking at
the reader.
