This is an example of a music magazine, from hard rock music channel kerrang. The example is a perfect example of a music magazine. Kerrang is a magazine aimed at an audience of rock and metal fans. Due to this genre of music the audience is a niche audience. The magazine is released once a week, meaning it must sell well every week.

The features that make this music magazine effective, and attractive are......

2. The colour scheme is very attractive to the audience, due to the use of complementeray colours that also match the main image and mast head. Red, black white and yellow.
3. The Masthead is easy to read and stands out to the reader as the biggest text size of all text on the page.
4. Simple coverlines, not to many not to few, easy to understand what the magazine contains.
