Analysis of Two Front Covers.

Kerrang!

The front cover of ‘Kerrang Legends’ has one main picture of the featured band and three smaller pictures of other bands also featured within the magazine. The title of the magazine follows a common theme following the same font as printed on newer editions of Kerrang magazines. The front cover also includes four colours excluding the colours in the pictures. These colours are very bold and stand out in front of the pictures, this makes it eye catching. The pictures, font, colour and headline I think will appeal to its target audience because the pictures are of bands the target audience will appeal to and appreciate, which makes sense.







NME


The second magazine cover that I analysed was an NME magazine. This cover has a photo of the cover of the leader singer of the featured band. There are three colours on the front cover of this magazine these colours are white, black and red. The title of the magazine is white, but on an NME magazine this is rare because on most NME magazine covers the title is red. Also the background behind the main picture and title is light blue; this is may be because it makes the title and background stand out more. Also there are three other smaller pictures on the side of the front cover; these pictures are also of bands and people featured in the magazine.
