Kerrang Front Cover
Kerrang's target market is primarily teenagers that listen to the music genres rock, heavy metal and punk. This cove features the rock/metal/punk festival Download, this is shown by the large heading in the left centre of the cover. The colour pallete for this issue is different to the usual scheme of the masthead being black on a white background or vis versa. This is issue the colour pallete is yellow, blue and black.
The masthead of the magazine is the same design that is one every issue of kerrang. This would help the potential reader find the magazine much easier. You can also tell that the magazine is quite well established because they do not need to show the whole title, some of it is covered by the main image. The main image is a low angle shot, ozzy osborne is pointing his hand directly centre so it look as though he is pointing at the reader itself this is quite and intimidating photo because of this.
A CD was free with this issue to further increase sales by giving away a freebie. The cover line for this magazine are in the bottom left corner they are mentioning artists that would be playing that years download festival. And in a last attempt to gain interest from readers that do not like the artists that are featured on the front, there is a heading that ssays 'plus tons more' meaning there is a lot more artists in the magazine.
