Magazine cover (Kerrang! - Fall Out Boy)

This is another cover for the Kerrang! magazine. This one has a member of the band Fall Out Boy on the front. I decided to look at this one because I like the band Fall Out Boy and I am thinking of using their style of clothing for the people that will be on my cover page. The layout for this magazine is different to the other Kerrang! magazine. I personally prefer this cover layout because it shows a list of band names all alligned to the far right of the cover. I do think that it does a little too much text on the cover for my liking. The amount of colours used is limited also which I prefer. The header at the top of the page tells the reader bands they can find information or articles about and also mentions a free CD that may interest the reader.

The masthead is partially covered by the image of the member of Fall Out Boy because people already know the name of the magazine. They will also recognize the font style and design of the masthead text. The text 'FALL OUT BOY' has a large size to it. This is so people can see what the main article in the magazine is about. The text has a black border so it can still be seen on the parts of the text where it goes on a white background. All of the text that on the covre is white and is clearly visible on the background it has been put on. The text is written on the image of the member of Fall Out Boy.

This magazine has gave me an idea of the clothing and attitude the people I have on my cover will be like. The clothing used will be plain shirts or unique shirts. I will take a mid-shot of the people that will be on my cover so they can all be seen on the cover. I will have the name of the band written across the centre of the cover and will make sure it does not cover too much of the image I will place on the cover.
