Magazine Research Schedule

Kerrang Contents Page follows certain design conventions to appeal to the heavy rock fan. Comment on the language, images, font and language used to appeal to the target audience.

Task A Deconstruct a front cover. Label the conventions and explain how they are used to match the genre and suit the target audience. Deconstruct a double-page spread. Deconstruct a contents page. Task B Consider the colour palette being used by the magazine and comment on what impact this will have on the target audience. How will this change your design decision when creating your own magazine. Task C Consider the fonts being used. Comment on their design and how they reflect anything about the magazine’s style. Again, how will this change your design decisions.
