Conventions: This
page stays “Contents” at the top and includes an editors review as well as
enlarged page numbers for certain pictures.
It also has an advert promoting itself (as a magazine)
Columns: All
three columns are in use as the contents and editors review takes up the space
across the page this is also another convention.
Regulars: Always
ever present in a music magazine would be a “gig guide” the few pages that tell
you all the upcoming gigs and concerts being performed across the world as this
magazine is distributed worldwide.
Page Numbers: With
two main pictures on the contents page and enlarged page numbers these are
obviously the main features of the magazine and what is special about it in
this issue.
Pictures: There
are many pictures on the contents page; this includes the editor, the main
features of the magazine and their own advertisement prompting people to
subscribe and confirm their commitment to the following 3 issues.
Logo: No logos
appear at present.
Font: The font
used is all sans serif, this may cause a more casual feel, as a serif font
seems more fancy and associated to formal newspapers. They stand out when bold
and make a statement.
Language: This
magazine uses direct language that is straightforward and understandable, there
are not many words that are shortened and the sentences are full and complete
unlike that of a teen magazine.
Colours: The
three colours black, red, white and yellow are used and seem fairly “dark” –
the stereotypical rock image is conveyed through the choice of colours and how
they are used.
Adverts: The only
advert shown is for their own magazine KERRANG! They are promoting the idea
that they could get the next three issues for a discounted price and the ability
to view it on the app store, and secure your issue.
