Here is a free CD that comes with the purchase of the magazine, this makes the customer feel like they’re getting something for nothing

The main feature is in the second biggest font on the page and it says the name of who’s on the cover to attract more of his fans and more potential readers.

The title is the biggest font on the page to attract readers to it. A serif font is used and the title is spread across the whole page. The image of Paul Weller is a medium close up and takes up most of the space on the page. Here are some cover

lines with names of other musicians featured in the magazine so more people will want to buy the magazine.

Here is the barcode and usually on around it is the price, date on sale and issue number of the magazine. All this information is on here very small because it’s the least important

The title font is a white bold san serif font. The lines through the title could represent shattered glass which can be associated with rock music. As the genre is know for smashing up stuff.

Here are some free pull out poster, these tend to appeal to younger readers who put them up on their bedroom walls.

In this issue of Kerrang multiple singers are on the cover, this will attract more readers to pick up a copy if one of their favourite bands are in it.

The main feature is in the centre of the page and is the biggest thing. This signifies the importance of the feature.

The puff shows a competition prize

The barcode on Kerrang also has the price and issue number here as well just like other magazines

The photo is a close up of Dave Grohl who’s band (the Foo Fighters) is the main feature in this issue.

Above the title other bands featured in this issue are listed. This is at the top because so it’s near the title which is the biggest thing on the page.

The cover lines here are some of the other stories featured in the issue to attract more readers.

Here is another list of bands that are featured in the issue and it’s a bigger list so more people will want to buy rock sound to read about the bands.

Here in the corner of the title self promotion. This is the website address so that you can read news about bands straight away.

Since the title is only one letter it is place in the top left hand corner as this is where we start reading.

The 100 is in a bold bright colour to attract attention to it.

Just like all the other magazine front covers other musicians featured in the issue are listed.

Here is a puff, the use of it makes the story separate from all the others on the page.

The use of a quote is more intriguing as the quote is out of context so they will want t read to find out more about why that was said

Here just like in Uncut is a free CD so it gives the reader the sense of getting something for nothing.

Cover lines showing other stories featured in this issue with the band/artist’s name being bigger.

The use of the word free draws attention to the magazine because people like free stuff, also it’s in the top left hand corner of the page which is where most people start reading.

Barcode in the same location as the other magazines also here, like Uncut, you can find all the information about the magazine such as price and the issue number
