KERRANG! MAGAZINE

Front cover

TARGET AUDIENCE AND GENRE

The target audience of this magazine tends to be both males and females interested in rock music of an age of 12-20. This can be seen by the chaotic design and bright colours designed to attract the eye of the teenager. The genre is rock which can be seen by the cracked masthead and, again, the general chaos across the page

MAIN IMAGE

The main image of Ozzy Osbourne is very prominent and takes up most of the page to attract people to the main article. He is also addressing the audience directly further luring the target audience. His attire is quite dark and gothic further providing people with the impression that this is a rock magazine. Also, his pose is quite threatening and menacing, something usually seen in metal groups like that of Ozzy’s own group, Black Sabbath

MODEL CREDIT

The model credit is large and bright to attract the eye of the audience and is also placed next to the main image to allow the audience to determine that this is the main story they are promoting. The title is in all caps which make the magazine seem loud, like it is being shouted. There is also the use of an exclamation mark which, again, shows the writing to be loud and is the symbol of the mag
