Analysis of a magazine cover, content and double page spread (Kerrang)

The genre of the music magazine Kerrang! is indie rock. The audience would be people aged 16 to 30 years old and who enjoy the indie rock Genre.
The title of the magazine is written in sans font and capitals. This suggests power or straight which I belave connotes that there main audience are males. The title of the magazine has lines going across the font. To me this suggests that the font is like broken glass. This would suggest that the magazines audience are rebellious compared to other music magazines.

The colour black in the magazine suggests secretes and bold. This would appeal to the audience as they would see the magazine as it stands out from other magazines but also the black would suggest to them that the magazine would revel information about the artists featured in the magazine. The red suggests danger or passion. This would also appeal to there audience as they would be passionate about the artists and music itself but also the element of danger would like back to the rock genre and the rebellion of the stereotypical rock or indie listeners.
The magaze title goes across the whole of the top of the page, this stands out to its audience as it covers a high percentage of the page. The cover lines and reversed cover lines boarder the image of the artists that make them stand out with the main cover line of the artists name in white, a different colour tho the magazine. This would appeal to the audience as the artists name would be going against the trend and would make them individual and unique.
The font style is mainly sans which suggests the magazine id more for males as sans forn tconnotes strenght and power.
The content I beeave you would find in this magazine are interviews with artists which would appeal to the audience because they feel thay have a persnal connection with the atists without actually knowing them as they will find out more about the artists lives. There would also be concert or festival reviews, this would appeal to the audience who are i nterested in seeing there favourit artists and would like to see live artists.
The magazine adresses the audience by usin you, your or we. This would give them the feeling of a personal connection with the audiennce and talking directly to the reader. It also uses slang on the cover magazine. This would apeal to the genre of the magazine as stereotpicly slang would be used frekuently and also explicit language of suggestions of sewaring.
 The cover is very simple with a white background which makes the artists stand out and draw your attentine towards them. The artists in this perticular cover are stagered from the for ground and the background. The manin artists is stood in front of everyone else. She is wearing retro clothes which are a contract to the rest of the band as they stand in more nutural clothes in the background and her ginger hair makes her an indervidual in the band.

The content has a title in yellow and black in the top right corner in the colours which the matches the cover of the maagazine and is constant throughout to link each page together. The content is split into sections of different types of features available. This would appeal to the audience because it would allow them to go to anything directly if they wished to find something specific in the magazine. The main articles have images to go with the the page name and number. This is used to draw attention to there main features and would be linked to the artists on the cover. The audience would like this because it would mean that they could easily see what would interest them more in the magazine.
The double page spread is about an artist or artists allowing there fans to know what there lives are about. This would make the audience feel as if they know the artist on a personal level without actually meeting them. the artists name would be written on the page so that if the image of the artist was not recognized then the name would be. This particular group have had a photo shoot on some stairs, the rest of the band are in black and white but the main person is in full color. This would suggest that the article is mainly about the main artist in the band. The setting is a normal place. This would suggest that the group are more down to earth by not being in any other setting or it may be linked to there beginning.
