• The imaged is framed by the top strap line and then by the K! AWARDS banner.
• The image represents the genre of music as there is a fierce and scruffy look going on with all the 5 men.
• The target audience is for young males who like to go to gigs and festivals. Scruffy looking. --> You can tell this because the colours used (red, black and white) are stereotypically manly colours. Also all of the writing is in capitals suggesting a fierce approach like the front man in the picture.
• This genre for this magazine is rock.
• The main image is of 5 male adults, four of which you can see are holding the Kerrang music award. The front man looks scruffy and quite aggressive as he has a clenched fist. The man wearing the mask looks scary as you cannot see any of his face. The person behind him looks intimidating as he isn’t showing any facial expression. The person on the left at the back looks very cheeky as he has got a big smile on his face and has his thumb sticking up. And the person at the front on the left look quite rugged, and is holding the award close to him showing that it probably means a lot to him.
• The image relates to the target audience as they dress the same way and look like they belong together on the magazine.
• The magazine is called KERRANG and this reflects the noise that the guitars make when they are strummed. It represents the target audience as KERRANG is written in capital letters and therefore shows the music is going to be loud and intense.
• The copy of the magazine will be placed in the music section in a shop that sells magazines. The size of the magazine is roughly A4 size. This is important as it can hold alot of information and is a good size to hold as they target audience are reading it.
• The straplines use simple language. but they catch the readers attention as they have been typed in large, bold font. The bottom strapline where all the bands are named has a "+" sign separating the bands. this splits the bands names up without using another word such as "and". the "+" sign is in yellow which also splits the bands up even more as they are all white in colour.
• the camera angel is face on and shows the top of the body on the front two men and then the other three men you can see from their shoulders upwards.
• the colours used in the image are quite dark and none of them really stand out. this contributes to the genre of the magazine as rock is stereotypically seen to be a dark/evil type of music.
