This is a weekly magazine that costs £2.20, its genre is rock therefore it would appeal to people who are into rock music. When pronouncing the title 'KERRANG' is an onomatopeia it sounds like a musical tune this could be representing the idea of a musical instrument in which links with the whole idea of rock. On the cover it gives you an insight to whats to come inside, it also offers things such a free posters of what would possibly be peoples idols.
The main colours used on the front cover are black, white, the bright blue and the bright pink, I'd say the black has most probably been used as its often the colour that links a resembles a rock artist and bands. The face theyve used pink and blue is unusual in my opinion however it could be representing the stereotypical idea of it being a magazine for boys and girls (the pink for girls the blue for boys) now to explain the white I think its used just to seperate colours up and to give a bit of light to what could show a dark side.
The cover of the magazine includes a joint picture of two idols from bands, one idol is more forward than the other this could show ones more important than the other, It also helps promote the magazine as you get the idea from it that the type of reader would be a dedicated music fan not only is it the focal point of the magazine i'd say it helps make the main headline stand out. The cover did also use other pictures as they included the two images of whom the free posters were of and it included two mini pictures of other band members at the top.
The font is all the same on the cover however they do vary the size to the importance of it, you get the idea from the cover its going to be about popular know bands however it does promote the unknown bands to its audience.
Overall I think the magazine does serve its purpose as a rock magazine, it offers everything you'd want in a rock magazine.
