This is the magazine own original feature and adds to the individual taste to the magazine. It is also in red text to make is stand out more to the audience readers.

Personally I think this looks professional, and would attract readers because of how much content there is on the page.

Here is the issue number, the date, website address. This is usually found at the top of the page in one of the corners, as like Kerrang!

The page is title contents but ‘Q’ is used as a logo to show that its part of the magazine.

This is a medium sized image, a long shot. It takes up a lot of the page, therefor it seems like there isn’t much content.

They have only used one smaller image, it doesn’t take up much room, it also have the name of the artist on the picture with the page number, this makes it easier for the readers to find that article.

This is also a special addition to the magazine, again making it even more original and may attract more readers if they are big ‘Oasis’ fans

The writing is a small font, but the title is larger and bold so that its easier to skim through to find what you are looking for, and also stands out more to the readers if they are trying to find something that takes their interest.

Kerrang! has also added another title being ‘! this week’ they are adding things like this to try and make their magazine stand out from the others and have an original touch.

This is the magazines editorial, it isn’t always located on the contents page, as NME and Q doesn’t have an editorial included on their contents page, a picture of the editor is also added here, he is giving direct mode of address to make the reader feel as though they are actually listening to him talking to them as they are reading it.

You can tell that this is a rock magazine, it’s important that the magazine portrays this throughout the magazine.

They also have included original special effects like these small puffs, they will help the reader find what they are looking for, as they are displaying that they are the cover stories.

The title Kerrang! Also fits in with the genre because its smashed, and the image that rock stars portray is a band that smashes things up and gives this image of having a bit of a ‘crazy stage presence’

The page numbers for all they articles are the same size, and in bold and red so that they stand out, they are all also located in the same place, at the start of the article title.

The article title is in bold and is a larger font than the information just below it, that is a smaller font and isn’t bold.
