Denotation
The magazine has the colour photograph of a man staring into the distance. the photograph seems to be in mid shot which due to his head and torso being in it. He also seems to be carrying an electric guitar. The background seems to be light blue with white in the centre; making it look as if the man is in a spot light. The photograph also seems to cover the whole magazine. Behind the man there is the Kerrang masthead. In front of him, I can see cover lines mixed with an image. The name of the man's band seems to have a white text colour with a bevel effect.
Masthead:
The masthead has white colour test with rough edges and lines through it in order to give it grungy appearance. There has also been a use of an exclamation mark in order to make the magazine more eye-catching.
Character:
The Front cover photograph is of Billie Joe Armstrong who is the lead guitarist and singer of well known band green day.
Lighting:
The lighting in this photo appears to be low key, which could suggest that this photo was taken during a gig a night.
NVC:
Through his non verbal communication it seems as though the man in the photo is in a daze.
Costume:
The Costume that the Man in this photo is wearing seems to formal since he seems to be wearing a black shirt that has white dots, alond with black trousers and a tie. He also seems to be wearing a black suit vest which leads me to believe that this photo was taken during an important occassion.
Target audience:
I think that the target audience for this magazine is for people of all ages that enjoy listening to the rock styled styled music and its many sub genres.
Denotation:
In the background of the main image, there appears to be of a countryside.In the foreground of the main image there appears to be a medium long shot of a man, as he can been seen from head to his knees. This man also appears to be carrying an electric guitar and has position it so that the face of the guitar is pointed at the camera. The man appears to be facing at the camera and has been positioned so that his face covers up the side of the masthead; which is the giant Q. The cover lines of the magazine has been position to be around the man so that it doesn't detract from the image.
Character:
The main subject of the magazine appears to be Dave Grohl who is the former drummer for the band Nirvana and the Lead singer and rhythmic guitarist of the band Foo Fighters.
Lighting:
The lighting in the magazine appears to be high key because it looks as though it was taken at a country side in summer which means that are hardly any shadows visable.
NVC:
Dave Grohl's non verbal communication appears to be fairly calm as he is staring into the camera dead on.
Costume:
The type of costume that Dave Grohl appears to be wearing is smart casual because he is wearing black suit pants and a black buttoned up top.
Target Audience:
I think that this magazine is aimed at those between their early 20s - early 30s because the location that the main photo is set at is at a countryside which could be viewed by the target audience as a great place for a private getaway. I also believe that this magazine could attract a younger audience because the magazine is colourful and visually appealing.
