The kerrang magazine has always been one of the top indie/rock magazines of its generation.


This magazine is good because it appeals to its audience in the way that it, again has the picture of a band on the front. Though saying this, the magazine is not as thick and does not contain as much information/stories as other magazines in this genre like 'Q' or 'NME'. But it still sells as the best weekly-music magazine on the market.

It still has as much of a professional look about it as much as the others. Though saying this I do believe that the other magazines (Q and NME) have a more 'high quality' feel to them. They also have a lot more information inside the magazines. But this may be to the fact that it is a monthly magazine and kerrang is a weekly magazine.

The use of colour in this magazine has a very dark feel to it as many of the colours are very dark and bland. Even the colours that the band seem to be wearing in the front image seems to be very bland colours. The background of the initial front image is also a dark colour. I believe in a way this is good because it is very simplistic and effective in the way that it gives a feel that suits the magazines genre.
