As I said in the other analysis the masthead of ‘Kerrang!’ has a smashed glass effect catering to the rock genre. The artists featured on the front covers name has a rock, slightly smashed glass effect in the font too which is suitable for the band and the target audience for this magazine. The colour of ‘Bring Me The Horizon’ is red, which links to the photograph of them as they’re cover in blood and the red represents the blood and goes well with the colour scheme of this issue of Kerrang!. Also the band are covering the masthead, which suggests that Kerrang! are so well known and superior that they don’t need the magazine name to be seen as it’s so well known. There are promotional offers and free posters featured in the magazines to draw in buyers and it is an often occurrence that rock magazines feature many promotional offers. There are also some small images around the main image of Bring Me The Horizon which gives the reader an insight of what else to expect in the magazine which will draw them in as they’ll see the image first, also the writing in and around these images are red, white and black which are the main colours schemes in a typical rock magazine.My colour scheme for my rock magazine will also be red black and white just like this front cover of Kerrang! as its a stereotypical for a rock magazine to have the 3 main colours featured throughout the magazine red black and white. The convention that is featured on nearly every Kerrang! cover of having the band over part of the masthead is what I’ll be featuring on the front cover of my magazine also. As it’s a popular convention for rock magazines I’ll be featuring promotional bands to draw in the readers and they’ll be familiar with this as it’s common in rock magazines. From what I have noticed by looking at rock magazine front covers and what is featured in this one is that from the photo on the front cover the band is usually covered in blood which represents the rock genre and the lifestyle that comes along with it, this would be a suitable conventionWednesday, 12 March 2014
