and bold which catches the audiences
eye. It is using the same fonts and
colours as Kerrang always uses in its
magazines for the
masthead, portraying to the reader it
is their magazine. Although the
colours are not bright and
colourful, the use of these dull
colours is to not take the audiences
focus off of the main article but still
catch their eye. The font used is kind
of messy, perhaps portraying the
music as loud and crazy, like the
masthead.

mainly used to let the reader

audience.

freebee?
