Front cover analysis 1


Masthead

The masthead will always use the same font, style and size. This is done so that the audience will always recognise the magazine and be able to spot it straight away. The white text in the black background makes it stand out from far away

 

Colours

The colours on this magazine are a mix of light and dark which contrast each other well. The magazine is aimed at lower middle and class and under teenagers so this is why the magazine is full of bright colours which can catch people’s attention from far away. The dark colours are used in people’s clothes and the masthead to make it stand out from the text.

Release

The magazine is released weekly so that they get people buying it each week and a constant supply of money. Because it is released weekly, the price is only around £2. This is done so that it doesn’t get too expensive to buy while still making Kerrang some money.

Promises

The magazine promises that you can win a meet and greet with You Me At Six. By doing this they might be able to get some people to buy the magazine who want to win that prize. This can get them more sales and more readers for the magazines. The magazine also includes posters that people may want. This gives people and incentive to buy the magazine over other ones in order to get something that they want.

Pictures

The picture on the front of the magazine fills up most of the page. This is done to catch people’s attention and get them to buy the magazine. By putting the readers favourite bands on the front cover they can ensure that people will buy the magazine in order to read about them. In this case it features Rou from Enter Shikari and Itch from The King Blues, who people may like.
