Colours are vibrant to grab the casual onlooker to this magazine – increases the chance of purchase. The colours stick to a theme, so pink white and yellow are not mixed with any others so it has structure.
The font is informal, so that it is relatable to its younger audience. Different font is used for the main title so that it sticks out to the reader and the font size is also increased for the same effect.
Language – A couple of rhetorical questions are used on the front cover, to get the onlooker to think about this and if they’re intrigued by it, they would purchase it. The front cover also has strange things such as “Why cows love dance music” to grab the reader’s attention and want to learn more from such a bizarre statement.
Kerrang: genre – Hard rock / Heavy metal
Images – one of panic at the disco’s members has his arms cross to come across as ‘Hard’ to match the genre of hard rock. Other pictures are also used to show the heavy metal genre and shows them screaming down a microphone.
Colours – it’s a very plain black and white colour theme to match the clothes the band is wearing, but to also make the one red part stand out ‘Free Poster’ helping the magazine sell.
Font – the band’s name is in larger font so that it stands out so that fans of the band will be drawn in to buying the magazine. The font is nothing special, and is formal, to tie in with the plain colour scheme of white and black.
Language – this magazine has not gone for any particular choice of language, they have just put all the names of the featured bands on the front cover to again, match the plain theme. Not only does this make it simple for the reader, it also draws in readers that may be a fan of a smaller band that made it on the magazine, but because it was minimalistic, they have seen their band on the front page and want to buy it.
