Kerrang Magazine is one of the leading music magazines globally; I decided to look at a few of the Kerrang magazines to gain extra inspiration for my own magazine. When I have looked at music magazines, the front pages have always been packed with information and big titles to attract the eyesight of consumers. This is the best way for magazines to get their demand. All of the text is the right proportion for the size of the page, nothing is too big and it doesn't swamp the page. Commonly throughout magazines a large image is the main focal point of the page for example in this magazine the picture of All Time Low is the focal point because the main article inside the magazine is about them and the magazine want the readers to buy the magazine because of that band. Words like HUGE and AWESOME are in larger font because they are words which attract the attention and make reader want to open the magazine. They are wearing American Football kit which isn’t the stereotype for an Indie Band. This goes against the C&C of a Music magazine of this genre because it isn’t something you would normally see.
