music magazine front cover analysis





- The music magazine is called kerrang, which is a well known music magazine within the UK. The title 'Kerrang' is written in at the top in large, black bold writing all in capitals. making it stand out to people looking at magazine stands, or those who are already searching for it.
- The main picture on the magazine is of the well known band in the UK Paramore with writing under it in large saying 'Paramore, Souvenir special'. This brings in more buyers as fans of the band are more likely to buy the magazine.
- The features are at the bottom of the page in small, they include 'band profiles', 'singles and albums' and 'Hayley speaks!'. leaving them at the bottom of the page is a mistake, especially 'Hayley speaks' as her fans will want to know if she is just on the front cover or if she has an interview inside the magazine aswell.
- Other things that are written on the front cover are '2 Giant posters +22 more insise' this is effective in making people buy it as it is at the top of the page and easy to see. Also written is 'Plus 45 stickers' which is also effective in making people buy it, aswell as 'Paramore special issue' and the barcode.
- other photos on the magazine are all of Paramore, 3 to the left side and 3 to the bottom, this really emphasises to fans that the whole issue is on Paramore which will make them want to buy it.
- The colour scheme on the front cover is basic but effective it is mostly black and white, with some red and yellow. everything stands out and none of the colours clash, so the colour scheme works.
