Kerrang cover

The style of this magazine is loud and has a lot going on. There is a lot of colour and a lot of pictures instead of just one main picture of the lead singer in 'Green Day' Billie Joe. You can tell that the title behind Billy Joe's head says Kerrang and it still grabs the readers attention, the exclamation mark grabs attention. 

The colours that are mostly used are, pink, yellow and white on every addition the colours do change round this makes it more exciting to read every addition and it wont be the same. The Yellow title 'Icon' stands out as it is using a simple bold yellow font. This magazine conforms the rock type as The main singer has dark black hair, wearing dark clothes and you can tell he is wearing eye make up as he has dark eyes. Quotes like 'Life is loud' above the title, by this you can tell that this is aimed at people who like rock. 

This magazine also shows other famous people like 'Marilyn mans' and what it is going to include about them. Around the pictures there is random words in speech bubbles like 'live chaos' and 'rock stars who changed your world!'  this magazine uses powerful words to get the readers attention. The language on the front cover is normal everyday language that is gramatically correct. There is a lot of writing on there but its all short words or sentences, not paragraphs of information this is so the reader will want to read what the magazine includes without having to read a huge paragraph of information. 

The way the magazine has been designed is good, because of the way its all set for example the main story on who the addition is about, is in the middle so the reader is aware. Then all the other stories on famous people are on the side of the magazine. The style of this magazine is very crowded and shows that the magazine is full of information. The way Billie joe is posing he looks relaxed and tired which is contrast with how the magazine is loud and bursting out of the frame.
