The Kerrang magazine uses bright colors like red and yellow on the cover to catch readers' attention. It includes promotional text and lists of artists to appeal to different audiences. The contents page continues the color scheme for consistency. Subheadings and page numbers are also brightly colored to help readers navigate easily. Offers and competitions are included to encourage readers to buy the magazine. Photos of older artists are typically in black and white.

1. KERRANG MAGAZINE

2. - Kerrang complies with the conventions of most
magazines by using 3 colours.The main 2 colours are
red and yellow; primary colours.These are bright and
catch the readers attention.The third colour is white,
which is a contrast to the black clothes that Dave
Grohl is wearing in the main image.
- There are a number of small pieces of text scattered
around the cover such as ’Win!’ and ‘Exclusive!’ that
subtly influence the reader. Including a competition
of some sort will most likely make the reader feel as
though they are getting something for nothing.
- The list of artists to the right of the cover shows the
reader the kind of people who are mentioned inside
the magazine and appeals to a wider audience
depending on the artists they like.

3. - The contents page sticks to the same colour
scheme as the front cover.This creates
consistency.
- The bright colours of the subheadings and page
numbers help the reader find what they are
looking for easily.
- The note from the editor at the bottom of the
page makes it more personal, as the reader will
feel as though the editor is talking to them
personally.
- As with most magazines, black and white is used
for photos of older artists.
- Offers and competitions encourage a reader to
buy the magazine.

4. - LilyAllen is wearing a baggy tartan shirt.
This type of clothing is typically
associated with punk, which is a contrast
to Lilly’s image as she is a pop singer.This
could connote that she is trying to be
different or change people views of her.
- Her name is in red while the rest of the
text is in black.This shows that she is
bold and stands out.
- She is positioned on the right of the page
which could show a darker side to her
personality.
