Kerrang! is the ultimate Access All Areas pass into the heart of rock 'n' roll excess. Kerrang is published 51 times a year.
The layout of the magazine has a more rocky, metal style. They have used boxes with cover lines and have used some pictures with snippets to make the reader want to read on.
They use top and bottom banner article to suggest who the band artists are that the reader will read in this issue.
The masthead has an effect of shattered glass which gives a feel that the music style is loud enough to break glass.
The main cover line 'Iron Maiden' uses a distressed effect to emphasise their rocky/metal attitude.
The style of font used on there cover lines is consistent and the same style throughout the magazine.
The magazine has a rock attitude and mainly appeals to teens. This I think is because of there modern style, and layout.
It stands out with its bright colours such as yellow and red.
The main image on the front cover challenges the codes and conventions because it is unsual that magazines uses cartoons as their main image. Most front cover magazines contains a famous artist to sell the magazine however, for this issue the designer might be aiming for different people people this time because this cover looks more like an anime/cartoon magazine. People who reads anime/cartoon magazines could be engaged to buy this magazine.
