Main Task: Magazine Review

Title: Kerrang





Audience: This is for people who are in the category of C1 and C2 of the jicnar scale and they are hedonists and individualists as they like to have fun now and are different form other people. The magazine connotes moshpits and skateboarders. The audience for this magazine would be for people who enjoy rock music. Kerrang magazine specialises in the genre of rocker music. Rock music is associated with dark colours like red and black. On the front cover of the magazine it doesn't have various amounts of colour because it only has colours of red, white and black which are very plain and ordinary. The person on the front cover is a typical rock star as she is throwing a punch. This is a typical rock star as they are people who like to throw there weight around and think they are tough as rock music is seen as heavy music. The magazine is for teenagers as it is not sophisticated like mojo magazine. Kerrang is set for the audience of teenagers because teenagers are seen as not nice people and they try to address this on the main masthead. EMAP sold its consumer magazine to current owner Bauer Media Group in 2008.


Here it says 'I am who I am with no apologies'. This is similar to teenagers as many people see them as individualists and teenagers do what they want and say what they want. So this magazine age range is between 16-19.

Contents: In the latest issue of Kerrang! magazine, Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams gives her most revealing interview yet! Also in this week's issue: We go behind the scenes of the Taste Of Chaos tour with Killswitch Engage, In Flames and Every Time I Die, Coheed & Cambria exclusively reveal their new album plans, Fred Durst calls K!

The contents of this magazine makes the point of being a teenage magazine as it is set as not being sophisticated, it is straight at you rather than the magazine of Mojo it isn't so at your face. As the contents in the Kerrang magazine is in your face as every sentence finishes with a exclamation mark.
