‘Kerrang!’ Contents page analysis

The Kerrang! Magazine content page is predominantly dominated by cropped images to keep the reader interested, the images are there to point out what the article features without using too many words and get straight to the point.  Ozzy Osbourne’s image takes up the top half of the Kerrange’s contents page this suggests that he is featuring the secondary lead on the whole article.  The other images on the content page are smaller, the layout is untidy, and everything is nearly all over the place making it hard core which helps the target audience feel more comfortable because they are interested in exiting and messy things however the information is set in columns so that it doesn’t confuse the reader’s eyes. The language used in this article is simple and easy to read, they also abbreviate words   because its target audience is mainly the working class teenagers.

The theme colours chosen are black, white and yellow similarly to the front page; these colours are not so bright put stand out. The font of the text is not suitable for when an individual is addressing a to a sophisticated target audience.

The content page of the Kerrang music magazine is direct addressing the reader in a friendly conversational tone to make them feel comfortable. The Kerrang magazine promotes the £6 per month delivery to attract the interested audience engaged and also enables the reader to have an easy access to reading the Kerrang magazine.

The Kerrang contents page is not demanding prior knowledge; it informs the reader on; the different events (live Gigs) that are going to take place, the music albums that have been recently released, tips on how to use a guitar and interviews on famous rock artists. By not demanding prior knowledge makes it more appealing to a wider range of audience.
