4. Masthead- This would be the title of this magazine , which is placed
across the top of the magazine. As its big, bold and red it stands out
from the white background.
Selling line- The selling line for “Kerrang” in this issue would be
‘Pierce the veils -totally awesome secret s’. This would attract the
readers to find out more and its noticeable as its in a yellow banner at
the top of the page.
Pull quote- The pull quote in this magazine would be “what would I
tell my younger self?” from Fall Out Boy, which would make it a main
one in this magazine. Its in white text with a black banner behind it
making it clear, so people reading this would want to find out more.
Cover lines- This gives us information on what's going to be included in
the magazine. For example in this issue one would be ’10 things you
never knew about Metallica’ , which is in a yellow banner, and the
number 10 and band ‘Metallica’ are in bold red text while the rest of
the words are in black. This would make it stand out more, as the
black and red are darker and bolder than the yellow making it easy to
see.
Main image- This would be the largest image in the magazine, in this
issue it would be ‘Fall Out Boy’. The image is placed in front of the
mast head, which shows the ‘Kerrang’ is recognizable so it doesn't
even need to be fully shown as people will know and by using a band
that many like as the main image, would make them buy this
magazine to see what its about.

5. Secondary images- These are images that are also included in the
magazine, which would show interviews and other featured people
who are going to be inside the magazine.
Hook- This would be at the top of the magazine which says
‘Download, The 2014 head line speak’, its in a clear large text which is
easy to catch sight of, so people keen to find out more would buy the
magazine.
Plug- This would be under the masthead, to tell the reader something
interesting that they may be interested in. In this issue its in a red
circle then the text is inside it with white and yellow text. This makes it
very noticeable as its in different colours in a circle.
Barcode- This indicates the date and release day of the magazine,
which is placed at the bottom right.

8. Kerrang!’s are for male and females , but they
reach out more to young readers than any
other music magazine.
They say having a younger profile is a big
advantage as traditionally this age group is
elusive (and expensive) to reach. As well as
music releases this makes Kerrang! perfect for
film and games, and also mobile technology
and government messages.

9. You can see that from the front cover that a close up of
Andy Biersack’s face is used. You can see that he has a
gold cross earring on, on his right ear and you can just
about see his tattoo on his neck. This shows us the views
a clear view of his face, which would allows fans to
recognise him instantly.
