Trends of Kerrang magazine

In this post I will be analysing the trends of a couple of rock magazines because thats what type of music magazine I wish to do.

In this magazine 'Kerrang' have used a main image of a rock and '30 seconds to mars'. Each person in the band is in the main picture but as with most of 'Kerrang' magazines they have focused on there face expression, because the view on rock music is seen as angry,scary and heavy you rarely see the main image which is always a musician on the front smile or anything else they have mostly always got a straight or angry/mad face. However, if it was a hip-hop magazine you would expect it to have probably someone with a smie or dancing because it is conventional to the genre and the magazine.

Another thing is the font of 'Kerrang' magazine, because rock music is seen as angry and serious they have put the logo 'Kerrang' as if someone has just hit a window or miro with somthing and it gives it the smash affect, this way it gives the whole magazine a more serious feel to it which is excalty what the genre is.
