The institution for this music magazine is Kerrang. Kerrang magazine follows the music genre of rock, it is mainly read by teenagers but some young adults would read it as well. The colour theme is back and white as seen in the logo. The rest of theme on the page goes with the logo colours. Kerrang shows that it is a popular music magazine to read as it has big artist’s names in bold writing, the black background and white writing helps it stand out more and catch the audience’s eye.
It is a medium shot of the band Panic at the Disco; they look laid back and are also wearing black and white cloths to go with Kerrang’s title. There is only mainly the colour red on the front page. It is advertising a free posting and the background to the text is red, this instantly catches the eye of the reader as it is the only main bit of colour on the page. Kerrang follows the main conventions of a music magazine by having the main image of a popular band on the front cover. Similar to other well know music magazines the logo is covered up by the band/artist on the front cover also displaying how popular the magazine is.
The ! at the end of Kerrang represents some of the music that is displayed through the magazine i.e. loud heavy music. Also the way you say Kerrang with the ! at the end, if you were to say it how it is spelt you would be shouting the word Kerrang like some of the music that is displayed (rock).
