Homework 1 – Bethany Wallsworth

I have chosen the main pages that are usually featured in each magazine weekly.

This is one of the main pages in this magazines issue, it shows a few popular rock bands such as papa roach, & lostalone . On this page, the band members are sharing some of their experiences being in the band, during tours, or just during their home lives, practicing etc. It also includes some ‘embarrassing’ photos of the band members. On the bottom right page, there’s a comic strip being promoted.

In every issue of Kerrang! they show their official rock chart, it’s like the BBC top 40 songs, but a rock version. 20 popular rock/metal songs are shown, most popular to least. Along the left side of the page, 4 bands in the charts are being promoted, informal language is used, making small jokes about each bands success etc. Also, along the left, they have a section called ‘chart attack’, a readers chart, a rockstar chart, & a random chart, chosen by different artists/bands, who’s in each section each week.

On this page, the Kerrang! Tour of 2014 is being promoted, giving readers details about who’s playing at the concerts, giving dates & locations. Also giving a place to buy the tickets from. The main bands headlining are shown on this page, including limp bizkit, crossfaith & nekro goblikon.

On these double spread pages, are posters promoting individual artists, bands or musicians; usually from the glamourous photo-shoots'.

On this double spread page, shows a way you can win a free t-shirt, using persuasion, as to get the t-shirt you must purchase 10 copies of Kerrang!. Giving details on how to do this, also a slip to cut out to send in the post with your 10 K!’s. Promoting the band t-shirts, are members from each band wearing one of their own.
