Kerrang magazine’s always have the same masthead. This
is the smashed/cracked Kerrang logo. This shows the grungy/rock genre. Also
there is the feature this is directed towards the main image and tells the
reader about the main article. Also there is banners these make the text stand
out. The cover lines is distributed around the front page to show the reader
what issues are encased in the magazine. There is also puffs on the magazine
promoting features in the magazine, Kerrangs house style is white and black, and
also all kerrang magazines have a barcode this makes it easy to buy the item. The target audience of this magazine is for
teenagers, boys and girls. The main image is of a model looking away, this is different
as the model is looking away from the camera whereas the normal thing seen is
of the model looking into the camera or direct address.
The magazine is breaking conventions by making the model look away from the camera and by using a medium long shot. Also they are breaking conventions by having the models head in front of the mast head. Here Kerrang are using the theory of the male gaze on in this case the female gaze.

There is so much more you could say about this. This is a very basic level 1 post - you should add theory and the use of codes and conventions to this post. You also need to add how this has influenced you and your ideas.
