Results to the question

This is the question I sent out to the public to find out what people want in a college magazine. I put the survey monkey link to this question on face book and sent people emails with the link. I used face book because I could get a big audience to answer it, as it gives a bigger range of answers.

This questionnaire will help me with deciding what to subject to use in the magazine and it will help to determine what will grab my target audience’s attention.

Analysis Of A Front Cover

Kerrang is a music magazine that looks at the up and coming bands. As well as focusing on  the rise and falls of current heavy metal, rock and other closely related genres of music.Kerrang is targeted at teenagers and young adults who enjoy Punk, Rock, Heavy metal, Crunk and Screamo.

 On the front cover of the magazine neutral and bright colours are used, this mix of colours make certain parts of the cover jump out and grab your attention. The main image reminds people of  a super hero (like superman) this links in with the the lead article. The image also gives a kind of playful feel to the magazine.
Just above the lead article they have a pull quote 'We're a REAL band' this effects the viewer by making them want more information on the reason for the statement.
The way the picture and writing is placed gives the magazine a 3D look, this also helps grab the readers attention.
The magazine uses a skyline which mentions a competition to win tickets to a gig this helps both the band and magazine as they are reaching out to the fans of Pearl Jam and Kerrang giving the magazine and band a possible bigger audience.
