The document discusses the color scheme, images, and layout of the magazine Kerrang. It notes that the magazine primarily uses black, white, red, and yellow colors to create an identifiable style across pages. A double page spread does not use these colors to establish a moody atmosphere. Images on the pages feature band members directly addressing the reader to build a relationship between artists and fans. Unlike other magazines, Kerrang does not include a masthead because its loyal audience already recognizes the brand without needing to be reminded.

Research Task 3d : Kerrang similarities and differences
All of these pages mainly follow the same colour scheme, using black, white,
red, and yellow. This gives the magazine an identity, and creates recognisable
patterns across the different pages. The double page spread does not use
these colours, but I think this is to create a certain atmosphere, as the mise-en-
scene of the page feels quite moody and bright colours like red or yellow could
ruin this mood.
The colours of red and yellow on the page relate mainly to the story about
Reading and Leeds 2015, this makes the audience recognisethe colours and
branding of this festival, so they will continue to recognise this brand in their
normal lives.
All of the main images on these pages have the models using a direct mode of
address, this establishes a relationship between the band and the reader.
Unlike other magazine, Kerrang’s contents pagedoes not usea masthead, I
think that this is used to show that they have confidencein their brand and
audience, who would already know whatmagazine they are reading and would
not need reminding, as they would read this regularly. This sets them out as
different to other magazines and shows their success.
