This particular cover of this magazine, has a very famous band on it, ACDC for the main image. They are the first thing that will catch your eye are the two musicians, and the big bold name of the band. They have also stood out "FREE POSTERS!" This will automatically drag people towards buying this item. The main sell line is "Metallica UK tour Exclusive" The other sell lines are, You Me At Six, Red Hot Chilli Peppers. The colour scheme is a lot brighter for this genre of music, with a sort of grey background, a white mast head with red going around the writing. "Free Posters"is coloured blue with the writing in a Bold font black coloured. This cover definately stands out.
This is the NME contents page, the main thing on this page is the oasis tour. The headline is "The moment that Oasis kicked off the world tour" Along the side are the contents of the magazine; News, Radar, Reviews etc. At the bottom there is something that will attract the readers to become permanent readers with a subscription offer. The picture of this contents page draws you immediately to the heading underneath them, with such a popular band like oasis, this will attract all sorts of different audiences into the equation. Another thing that will help my magazine would be through the additions of some sell lines, for example on this particular contents page we have a subscribe today advertisement, with 33% off. Maybe this suggests that they are positive that this magazine sell well during its duration on sale.
This is the contents of the "Kerrang" magazine. The main things that stick out here are the pictures of performers. With bullet for my valentine, fall out boy. Along the side there is a list of what is coming up this week and some of the features of the magazine.
This is the cover of the Kerrang, the main thing that stands out here is the lead singer out of rise against, with the band name standing out. The sell lines are very noticable, also there is an article on Kurt Cobain. With the popularity of the band, this will draw a lot of attention to the magazine, with mentions of their tour in the U.K. proving a certain factor to this front cover. With the sub-headings at the top and the bottom of the screen, it is one of the places you will certainly look for, this is a popular choice for the positioning of the sub-headings. One of the things that a I would change, would be the title of the magazine is over lapped by the main image, this may however be showing the importance to who is starring in their magazine.
