At the top of the page, is a strap line, on the top of it there is a qoute from the band The Damened things, "We want to do everything". This attracts the audience straight away by being enticing and luring.
The title is made to catch peoples attention and attract them to the magazine, it has done this by using a contrast of colours. The black title gets put on to a white back ground to make it more vibrant. It enforces brand identity and gives the impression of a BANG! if kerrang is said out loud it sounds like a bang, this is called a onomatopoeia.
The main front picture on the magazine is a picture of the lead singer from "paramore" Hayley Williams, it is a medium close up of Hayleys waist up wards. she has her head tilted to the side and is winking at the camera and audience. This makes the magazine look like its going to be exciting and fun. When the audience see Hayley Williams on the front magazine winking, it makes them want to read on about Paramore and the rest of the magazine.
The big cover line text going across the front image, saying "PARAMORE" with four pictures of the group paramore is made to look extremly distinctive because it is going right across the picture. This is rotated slightly added a slanted effect to it.
Alliteration is used underneath the four pictures, saying, " PLUS, their private photo album revealed!" this makes the readers want to see the photo's inside!
The bar-code at the bottom of the magazine is to idetify the price and what issue it is.
The logo placed at the bottom of the magazine, that is rotated and says " WIN a trip to Barbados to record an album!" is used their to promote the magazine, by having WIN and BARBADOS in larger size writing makes the logo its self stand out and be noticed first. Then the idea of wining a trip to Barbados to record an album encourages the audience to read on and find out how to do it!
The strap line at the bottom has a plus sign next to it to lure the reader into more of the magazine, the plus sign shows that there is alot more then just what is shown, the strap line shows that other things such as parkway drive, deftones, skunk anansie and many more are inside the magazine. This attracts more people that like these bands to the market.
Down the left hand side is four pictures of four bands, all the text and font is the same in the same colour. The graphics are the same all the way down the magazine.
The house style of this magazine front cover is shown by using a colour theme consisting of, red, black, white and yellow!.
