2. Magazine Analysis 1
Content page displays several photographs, showing
different music artists. The photographs advertise the
content of the magazine, notified by the page number in
picture.
The text in the content, is coloured yellow,
to standout from it’s black boarder. This has
also been done so that the reader can easily
read whats in the magazine. This has also
applied to the contents title, to stand out
from the rest of the page. Also the black
text is bold to allow the reader to read it
easily
This page also shows the magazine in the
top left hand corner. The text on the side
provides detail about the magazine. This
will then allow the consumer to make a
subscriptions, and find out more about the
magazine.

3. Magazine Analysis 2
This page has a set colour scheme red ,black and
white. This has been done to lock presentable,
but the sections of red can also catch the readers
eye.
The layout of the text is in columns, which
looks formal, with the page numbers marked
on the left hand side. Combined with colour
scheme , it makes it very easy for the
consumers to read.
The font used in all of the content,
stands out, and bares a resemblance
to old English MT. There is also a
small comparison to the way a British
new headline is presented, giving a
formal appearance.
This content provides a small
section, entirely dedicated to the
editor. This gives the reader an
inside to a specific topic that the
editor has decided to talk about.
Content page has pictures, of different artist, that
are relatable to the magazine. This further
advertises the content in the magazine.

4. Magazine Analysis 3
Bright tones of red
have been used to
stand out from dark
background.
The page numbers and content
titles are boxed off from the main
image. Whilst this makes it easy to
read, it’s not obvious to notice over
the large image..
This image takes up a larger
percentage of the content page, in
comparison to the text. This can
again indicate that there is a sizable
amount of content dedicated to this
person.
A iconic figure in the industry,
has been a title in the content
page, that stands out
completely from the colour
scheme. This can indicate that
there is a fairly large section
dedicated to this figure.

5. Magazine Analysis 4
The image is part of the
content page, which can give
the consumer a clearer idea on
what the article is about. The
page number and content title,
is clearly show, due the colour
scheme.
The layout of the page has been separated
into thirds, with the content titles to the right.
This allows for a more visual appeal, with the
photographs in the middle, but allows the
consumer to see where everything is.
A section has been
dedicated to the editor,
who gives details on the
current issue. This gives
the editor opinion on
the issue, also revelling
some the content of the
magazine.

6. Magazine Analysis 5
The top half of the layout, displays
two double spreads, along with a
musician. The lack of written detail
gives a visual explanation, of the
content of the magazine. Also the
size of the image of the artist,
indicates that the magazine is
dedicating a large section to that
area.
The text is coloured yellow, to
standout from the black
background. This makes it easy for
the consumer to read. Also the
Kerrang title is the same as the
front cover title, which works well
with the following words. The
combinations looks like a shout, to
show what is in the magazine.
The layout of the content page
has been split in half, with the
content titles at the bottom. This
looks like everything has been
constricted at the bottom,
however dose look formal.
