Research: Kerrang front cover analysis

Over the holidays I found many images of magazines I liked the look of. Kerrang is one of my favorite magazines ad I found this front cover the most appealing to my self.

 I believe I prefer this front cover due to the way it has been laid out, the lead singer is right in your line of sight which draws your attention to the cover, also the writing is very large and also very vibrant. This also draws you into the magazine and catches your eye. I really like this front cover and I feel like I might use some of the techniques my self.
