Analysing music magazine KERRANG.




















This music magazine Kerrang has been very sucessfull as the front cover is very eye catching interesting and makes people want to buy it,

The masthead is very recognisable if people were to see this text they would know straight away it was Kerrang as they use this text in every issue, the text stands out and shows what short of magazine it is as its bold, it looks like it has been cracked at the K and E and is black this shows that music in the magazine would be around the rock genre.

The main picture again is the main focus point, as well as the main selling line, the picture is of the singer from muse, this also shows what audience would be attracted to it. The artist is playing the guitar again showing what music genre the magazine entertains.
The main selling line is 100 GREATEST GIGS EVER! this straight away points out to the audience what will be in the magazine and is eye catching by using the word gigs instead of shows or concert this implies that it is a rock magazine.
kerrangs front cover is always very busy with usually alot of other small pictures and other selling lines, this makes it very interseting for the eye giving the audience lots to look at this makes the reader pick the magazine up and therefore they will buy it.
Kerrang also has a slogan LIFE IS LOUD this is succesful as it gives the audience something to famillerise with.
As does every magazine kerrang has a barcode and issue number for production
reasons.
