Here is the front cover of a Kerrang Magazine:

Kerrang! is a UK-based magazine devoted to rock music published by Bauer Media Group. It was first published on 6 June 1981 as a one-off supplement in the Sounds newspaper. Named after the onomatopoeic word that derives from the sound made when playing a power chore on an electric guitar, Kerrang! was initially devoted to the New Wave of British Heavy Metal and the rise of hard rock acts. In the early 2000s it became the best-selling British music newspaper.

  • Kerrang has more of a busier front page compared to the two other magazines and this fits with its genre of 'rock'
  • This front cover has a two red banners, one at the top and one at the bottom both with bold white writting
  • There is also a white banner underneathe the title which draws attention to the bold black title of the magazine
  • The main feature of this magazine is 'Biffy Clyro' the main picture on the front cover is him and his name is written across the middle of the magazine
  • The colours on this front cover are black, white and red. These three colours are working well together as the white wrtitting is standing out becuase it is contrasting with the black and red
  • There is lots of advertising on the front of this magazine more so than insights to what is inside like the other magazines
  • At the top on the red banner there is an advert advertising a 'Download Ticket'
  • Also there are adverts for 'FREE' posters within the magazine
