Kerrang Magazine Analysis- Rock Genre


Typography-
The title name of the magazine is in bold capital letters and stands out from the white background. The typography is cracked and looks like ‘smashed glass’ which is stereotypical of their rock star image. The other typography is in sans serif font and is clear to read, signifying that ‘Kerrang’ is aimed at a more mature audience.

Layout- Layout is relatively ordered, the audiences eye is immediately drawn to the big bold letters ‘Kerrang Awards’ which is the cover story of the magazine.

Colour-The colour scheme is mainly black, white and red. The colours black and red could signify danger associated with the bands rock and roll image.

Images- There is one main image and four smaller ones near the bottom of the page. Mise-en-scene is used effectively on the cover of ‘Kerrang’ as guitars and microphones are used as props to signify the rock genre.
