Kerrang is another well known music magazine; It is the worlds biggest selling rock magazine in the world. The mast head on this magazine is the title of the magazine, this is usually expected of the mast head. It is the largest font on the front of the magazine, making it stand out for readers to notice. There are black lines going through the mast head, I think these lines look like guitar strings and the producers may have done this as it is a rock music magazine and in rock music they very often use guitars. The colour of the mast head is white therefore contrasts with a lot of darker colours especially the colour of the background of this magazine; it makes the masthead stand out more. The white against the blue, as the blue is quite a darkish colour.
Above the mast head is a cover line which says ‘Reading and Leeds 09: Rated! 8-page pull out!’ this means that inside the magazine Is another smaller magazine which has information about a recent festival, because the masthead stands out a lot when the reader picks up the magazine, above is the cover line about the free pull out therefore this could have an effect on more people being interested in buying the music magazine.
The main image is of a well known modern artist, Green day. This band is loved by a lot of people therefore when they see green day on the front of the magazine that also may persuade more people to buy it. The guy in the main image has a guitar in his hand; this is the ideology of the band green day as it is a rock band. Another reason why more readers may buy the magazine is because of the main cover line which is also about green day. The main cover line is the biggest font on the front cover other than the mast head, its says ‘This is the best show out there. Greenday exclusive us tour report’ this cover line will be another reason why more people buy this magazine. The colour of some of the text is a gold/ yellow colour; the editor may have decided to use this colour to express the fact that their magazine is a top class magazine, as the colour gold is usually used for things like 1st place winners in a competition. I think this magazine uses conventions of a magazine cover. It has a main image, a main cover line, other cover lines, plugs, the barcode with the issue no, date and also includes a website for the magazine.
