This is a typical cover for Kerrang. It is called Kerrang because that is the noise that a guitar makes when you strum it and guitars are often associated with rock music. The text of the title is fractioned text and looks like a glass that smashed. All of the text is in sans serif and most text is in either black or white.
Similar to the last cover it has a main heading in the middle, it is in large and bold. There is a tag line under the main heading which is in red and an italic font. They have used a wide range of colours on this cover, but the main colour is black, which is used for the top and bottom background. However, the middle background is a light blue which looks like it could be representing the sky. I think they chose to use black alot becuase it is can also be acciated alot with rock culture. The heading in the middle matches the colours of the men in the picture's t-shirts, and the red tag line mathcing with the background to one of the main sells. They did not use any sentances on their cover just words that describe what is in the magazine. These words are informal and mostly names of bands with would suggest that most readers will have some knowledge of the subject area. They have made the word 'FREE' bold so that it will catch peoples eye and make them more intressted in buying the magazine if they feel they will be getting something free. I would say that this magazine has a slightly older age range to the other magazine because the bands mentioned in the strap line are older bands. I would sugest the age range is between 20-40. The camera is slighly facing up to them this shows that they are a higher status to readers. There is a barcode in the bottom left hand conner and the date is shown next to teh bar code, this is very simerlar to NME's barcode.
