Analysis of existing products: kerrang magazine

I think that this magazine cover is very eyecatching and also quite typical of modern magazines. the masthead is in the usual place and stands out well. However i feel that the main cover image and main cover line are the most eyecatching feature of this particular magazine. The main cover image stands out as the members of the band are pulling parculair faces and one of the memebers pictures is raised above the masthead which makes it really stand out. Also the colour of the main cover line really stands out. This cover is very busy which will give the audience the impression that there are manny different features in the magazine. As well as this there are names of various different magazines on the skyline which will allow the magazine to draw interest from a wider audience as there will be a wider variety of music in the magazine. Another good feature of this magazine cover is that it clearly shows the offer of free posters which could help convince someone who doesnt usually read the magazine to buy it, because some people may just want the posters but then read the magazine and be encouraged to buy it in the future.
