analysis of magazine 2

L- This magazine is a poster and interview special of Paramore. Sometimes magazines do this to bring in more money and a better audience range. The pictures dominate The front cover but the text also stands out because white works well against a dark coloured background.  The masthead is conventionally in the same place as any other magazine which is in the top left. The title of the magazine is a indent,which means it is recognisable everywhere,sort of like a logo. Also in the masthead is the the website of the magazine which gives it extra promotion,seen as everything is turning to technology today including magazines. The bar code is a main convention in every magazine,because it shows the price of the magazine which the audience need to know. Kerrang have chosen to use the most popular house style colours on their front page,been red because it stands out and is associated with red top newspapers/tabloids,this is when a magazine or newspaper is dominated by pictures,red top newspapers focus mainly on entertainment,so this could of been why they choose the colour red. Also black and white are popular colours in a magazine because they work well together. To keep it professional all the photos are in line with the masthead on the side so it doesn't look messy and un professional. The name of the magazine 'KERRANG' is meant to be the sound of a long strum of a electric guitar which is a onomatopoeic sound,and the text looks like a cracked in a rock star kind of way.
