Music magazine analysis cover (KERRANG)

This magazine is first got a main image of 'Biffy clyro' and who seem to be may be who perform with him. the attitude of this picture seems to be dominant with the way he is almost staring out at you. He is male and seems to be quite scruffy creating a look on a music magazine of quite a rocky theme and a reckless attitude to what he does. This could also show that the aim of this is sent towards a more reckless age group of from teenagers to around the age of thirty five  The pug is in the left hand corner which is may be attracting people towards the cover as it is giving a preview of the band in the main image by giving you three of there songs to listen to for free. There is three sub images for what seems to be the band '30 Seconds To Mars' this could be added on as they could be producing good music or may have payed for this to create a wider fan base as they know that this is a well known magazine and this can create publicity for them and make and increase in records/gig sales. The last picture is what seems to be the front cover of a CD case which could signal a new realize of an album and it is a good way to gain a better response from people as they will see that its out and may cause a rise in the sales of the album. The masthead is also overlaps with the name of the magazine which is called 'KERRANG!' this could show that it is a powerful cover with the bold and capitalized text giving of that its more of a strong music genre. The colors of this magazine seem to be mainly dark only going into the colors black, white and red. these colors all seem to signal towards more of a manly base aspects which could show that this magazine is mainly aimed at men.
