I have chosen first to analyze the cover of 'Kerrang!' magazine. I chose it as it is relevant to my music genre of metal/rock. The main colours are light blue, yellow, black and white. The name of the magazine, kerrang, is hidden behind the picture but if you regularly buy the magazine, you'll know which one to buy. The main focus is the band on the cover. 'All time low is in bright yellow and there are smaller band names on the right and left side, also in yellow, so that people can see a band they like and buy it. In the bottom left, it's indicated in bold capital letters, in a light blue colour (which matches the background), that the magazine includes posters too. The second most important story is located in the bottom right, in a yellow box with a small picture of Jesse Lacey and the phrase 'Exclusive interview' which makes the reader think they are reading something that no one else knows. The barcode is in the bottom left hand side, out of the way as no one reads it unless they need to know the price, issue number or date. There's a small banner at the top mentioning the band dragonforce teaching you how to become a guitar god, it makes it feel quite personal.
