KERRANG! contents page

This contents page will instantly attract the buyers attention with the big picture, this will then encourage the buyer to read the list of what else is in the magazine. The list of what is in the magaizine has been made interesting becuase there are names and pictures of bands that are really popular, this will make the audiance want to buy the magazine.

KERRANG!

This is the front cover of a Kerrang magazine. As you can see most of the title has been coverd by the main picture, this is becuase the magazine is so popular that people know what the magazine is called just by seeing part of the title. The main picture of two lead singers from two different bands and the words in the middle "avenged sevenfold vs bullet for my valentine" will attract the target audience becuase they will want to know whats going on between the two bands and why they are together on the same picture. One of the kickers at the bottom says "Free posters" and the pictures on the bottom are of the posters, this will promote the magazine because some people may buy the magazine just for the posters.

Metal Hammer

The title of the magazine "Metal Hammer" has been partially coverd by the picture on the front, this is because the magazine is so popular that people know what it is called without seeing the whole of the title. Also the picture itself will attract the buyer to go and look at it, because it is different and the use of costumes and special effects has been used very effectively. The way "Trivium" has been written looks as if it has been written in blood which adds to the theme and also because Trivium are a popular band that will also attract the target audience. The kickers on the front cover like "top 50 albums of 2006" and "the unholy alliance" will also interest the buyers becuase they will be interested in what the top 50 albums are and what the reviews are on concerts such as the unholy alliance tour.
