Analyse 3 existing music magazine covers: KERRANG! Magazine.

Kerrang!
Design features:
The house style for Kerrang! Magazine are the colours white, pink, yellow and black which are colours usually associated with rock music. The main image is a medium long shot of a band called Paramore; one of the members is in front of the others which tells us she is the lead singer. The main headline is bigger than the cover lines so it stands out and the white and pink colours attract attention. The competition puff on the bottom right is yellow with black text which stands out; it attracts the readers’ attention and appeals to people who like to enter competitions.

Language:
‘Secret conflict revealed’ intrigues readers and makes them want to read about what has happened with the band. The pull quotes like ‘I was going to crack him with my guitar!’ also intrigue the reader and make them want to read more about it. The text ‘Poster pull out’ is written on the front cover and stands out so people see it and want to read more.

Image:
The image is of Paramore who are well known band which attracts attention of those who like their music and are fans of the band. The band members are looking directly at the readers which makes it more personal for the reader and attracts their attention to the magazine.
