Music Magazine research- contents of Kerrang!

Unlike the previous two contents pages, Kerrang! uses several images. This may be because the artists featured may not be that well-known to the public so by using images, if the audience do not know what genres the magazine cover, they will after seeing the pictures. This fits in with the ideology of the magazine.

At the top is a letter from the editor. These are used in some magazines because it s as if the editor is talking directly to the reader and summarising the features in the magazine.

Also, in the top right hand corner underneath the contents slogan, is a quote from an interview featured. This are often controversial as well as eye-catching. This makes the reader want to read the full article to see if it's as controversial as the quote. Often the articles are nothig like the quote; it is just the quote is misleading or taken out of context.

The artists on the main section of the page with images are usually the artists featured on the front cover. This means that they will probably have a few pages on each of these artists.

The contents, like NME, are featured in a list down the right hand side.
