3. Genre
The magazine’s genre is Rock. This kind of
magazine normally uses dark colours like
red, black, grey,etc. and very impressive
images of Rock bands/singers.
This magazine, Kerrang!, which was first
released in 1981, is now one of the best
selling music magazines.
4. Main Image/ Model
The model on the front cover
is Green day’s lead vocal, as
his band’s name is printed
the biggest and the most
outstanding on the cover.
5. Colours
The cover uses dark background colours:
Red and Black.
The words’ colours are mostly white, which
stand out very well on the background.
6. Cover lines
The cover lines are not arranged
with any rules, they are presented
randomly on the cover.
All the cover lines are printed
clearly in Capital letters to attract
people’s attention.
There is a cover line which shows
the freebies attached in the
magazine: “7 Posters they didn’t
want you to see”. The line is
painted red and below there are
lots of photos to attract readers.
7. Masthead
The masthead Kerrang! are
written in white and printed
very big on the top of the
cover. A part of the masthead
is hiden behind the model’s
head, which is a clever and
creative way. People who like
and subscribe to this magazine
can still recognise its name.
8. Bar code
The bar code, which
takes up a very small
space of the front cover,
is placed on the right at
the bottom.
The magazine’s price is
usually written inside the
bar code’s area.
9. General comment
The front cover is successful in impressing
and drawing attention of people with its
strong background colours and its cover lines
which stand out on it very well.
The model on the front cover is also a point,
as Green day is a popular and favourite Rock
band of a number of teenagers.
