Magazine deconstruction

This magazine catches your eye with all of the yellow from the font to the image. The masthead is eye catching for one because it is bold and in capital letters, but mostly because it has a smashed affect. As Kerrang's magazine has a rock audience the masthead works well with the craziness and 'hard' music that Kerrang publicises. A lot of the font is in Capital letters which makes the magazine look like what they are posting into their magazine is important and that they are not going for the 'normal' Capital letters which represent an important word or sentence.


Overall I like the look of this magazine, the colours and the layout works well with the genre of magazine. The name of the magazine is Rolling Stone. The colour scheme is blue, white and black. All of these colours work well together because of the blue. All of the important information has been highlighted into blue font, so the reader knows what are the important parts of the magazine. The image stands out and fits well with the colour scheme. As the picture has a few males and then a women the reader attention is firstly focused on the picture. Most of the font is in Capital letters, this shows that it is trying to get the reader to pay attention onto the writing because their main attention is on the other stuff that is going on, such as the masthead and image. I like the look of this magazine because it hasn't gone overboard on colours, the picture is not covered with colour which is good because it stands out itself without big amounts of bold colours.
