Case Study 1: Cover Page


"Kerrang!" is a rock magazine . The front cover features a mast head in big and bold font. The masthead is olive with a beige background. This is to make the masthead stand out more. The image is a medium-close up shot. The model in the image is in front of the mast head as they are more important.

The main cover line is on the bottom left magazine as it is the only side of the magazine that is shown when it is on the shelf. This is to attract readers into buying the magazine as the feature article is for the 10th anniversary of the release of Green Day's "American Idiot" album. 

On the right side of the page, a cover line saying "50 Greatest Albums of the noughties". This is on the right side of the page where it is hidden as it is not the cover article.

  1. Well written case study, the DPS has some lovely detail but write more on the language used, layout, house style and link to the target audience and genre. Cover and contents are a little descriptive, try to analyse why images and text are the way they are (usually linking again to target audience and genre). A very good start but add some detail please.
