Kerrang! is an established rock genre music magazine, published in the UK. It's target audience is (similarly to NME, however perhaps more rock-based) young music lovers. It's front cover is definatley noticeable in a group of magazines, perhaps leading to the great success of Kerrang! magazine.
The large and eye catching image, featuring a different act every week attracts attention from the right audience. On most issues, a one coloured background is used, which differs from the background of NME which consists mainly of a background built of mise en scene. The title is bold, noticable and recogniseable. Band/artist names are emphasised to attract readers, in similar fonts and colours. The bar code and similarly, fair marked price are located in the bottom right corner. A colour scheme is maintained to form some sort of link to the genre. Overall, a well laid out front cover to fit it's genre and attract an audience.
