1. The masthead of Kerrang
has been placed behind
the main cover image to
instantly attract
attention to what will
feature in the magazine.
The puffs on the side of the
front cover allow the audience
to collect free magazine
posters each time they
purchase kerrang. This is an
effective selling technique as it
allows the audience to collect
posters of their favourite
artists.
The main cover image of ‘Josh
You Me At Six’ has been taken
in a mid shot and also framed
by the miniature images
surrounding him. His use of a
plain black top also draws
attention to the ‘ cover line’
informing the audience on the
main topic of the magazine/
The main cover line is printed in
bright bold and yellow text to
effectively draw in the fans of the
band ‘You Me At Six’ It also informs
the audience on what the main
topic of the rock magazine would
be.
The plug in the right corner
of the magazine shows
that this issue is 1 of 5 to
collect. So it further
persuades the audience to
buy each issue of kerrang
so they have all 5
members of the bands on
the magazines.
The use of the
question at the
bottom of the
front cover
immediately
makes the reader
question to why
such a thing has
been asked,
which effectively
would make the
reader want to
purchase the
magazine to find
out the answer to
the question.
