Analysis of Kerrang contents page

I will be analysing the contents page for the Kerrang magazine. The main image on the left is of a typical rock star. His body is covered with tattoos. He has a rugged beard and he is posing as typical rock star would. The background behind the image is plain black. This is effective as it will attract the audience of a typical rock audience. The font used for the page numbers is a small yellow font. An advertisement is placed on the bottom right of the page. The other images around the main image are also images of rock stars, and there are images of live performances of rock star performers. This helps to add realism to the magazine and makes it look more realistic and authentic. At the top of the page there is an editorial with a message from the editor, which helps to make it more authentic. The title of the page ‘contents’ is written in a yellow font, which contrasts the black background which helps it to stand out. Beneath this are quotes from the featured artists. There is also a section called "Features" which contains their unique selling points about major artists featured in the magazine.
