Textual Analysis


This is a recent issue of Kerrang magazine. This is a music magazine aimed towards teengaers who are into a specific genre of music. The main feature of this magazine is You Me At Six, their name is in big bold writing in the centre of the front cover. The other main focus is the title Kerrang!. These are both in white so they stand out more than other writing on the cover. The colour scheme of the front cover is, red, white and yellow. These are all bright colours. The main photo is a group and medium shot, all members of the band are looking right into the camera. There are also a number of smaller photos that are also medium shots.
On the left hand side there is a list of bands, this is to attract readers who may be interested in these bands. The front cover of the magazine is trying to give as much information about what is in the magazine itself, it does this by using 'Plus' and an actual + sign. This is too show that there is a lot of material inside.
The strapline at the top, sticks to the main colour scheme of the cover. All the writing on the front is in capital letters, this helps it to stand out even more. It also helps to provide a clear layout that is both exciting and professional.
