kerrang! magazine

I have looked at the magazine Kerrang!, The front page has a band on the front; this tells us the main topic within the magazine. The people are looking face on at you. this attracts the reader and catches your attention.
within the magazine there are lots of advertisements, such as x box games, HMV adverts, cds, adverts for the army and many more; this is where the magazine gets its money from.
At first the writing on each page looks scattered and un-organised, but then if you look closer all the text is neatly in boxes and is organised.
The target audience would be for older teenagers and adults (15+),as the language within the magazine is offensive (swearing), and also there is alot of text on each page, therefore There's too much to read and would loose a younger audiences interest quickly.
The colour theme on each page is white writing on a black background.
