1. The colour of the Kerrang logo is kept the same throughout the whole magazine
it’s yellow text in the same font and heading, adding fluency to the page, whilst
also helping the heading stand out to catch the readers’ eye. In the bottom right
there is a small advert for a subscription for Kerrang directly in front of a known
band, connoting that the magazine is up to date and definitely worth buying
because of how good the features and who the features are on are. •There are
also pictures at the bottom of the page which are actually posters that the
audience can tear out and use, and are overlapping each other so you can’t see
the whole picture, and also saves space on the page. The text in front of these
pictures has a green background, both relating to the band name as well as
matching the colour scheme formed by the main image of My Chemical
Romance at the top.
The headline of the
contents page stating
‘contents’ is in the
top left hand corner,
this follows
conventions of
magazines.
Main images: They features a popular and famous band of the genre of music (rock) that
this magazine is targeting at the making it a good decision to use this image as it will
appeal to the majority of the audience. The image of the editor helps the reader to engage
with the magazine in a more personal form, and also draws their attention to the note,
otherwise they probably wouldn’t have noticed the column of text written by the editor.
There are quite a few smaller pictures that reveal more of what’s inside the magazine,
enticing the reader to turn to the full article and read on.
The vibrant
colours used,
green, yellow and
black compliments
the rock genre of
this magazine and
means that it all
fits in, rather than
looking out of
place for being in a
clashing colour.
