In this edition of  images, with the main image spread across half of the page. Despite the abundance of pictures, the main image is so prominent that it immediately grabs the reader’s attention. It does this through its use of colours – most notably the red couch, however, Marilyn Manson’s face and the cards he is holding contrast with his black outfit, and the black outfit contrasts with the red couch. These uses of contrast draw the reader to the picture because it is so profound against the otherwise ‘dull’ bottom half of the page.

 In all, there are 4 colours on the page: black; yellow; white; and red. All four of these colours are used equally throughout the page, which is unusual since many magazines in the industry tend to use two or three main colours and have a couple of less-prominent colours to compliment the main ones. There are a total of 6 fonts throughout the page, all contributing to different aspects. Again, Kerrang! is defying convention as they are using an unusually high number of fonts - many magazines tend to only use three or four fonts in their contents page. They use the colours and fonts well – with subheadings tending to be in yellow, and black for other text. The main headings are used and placed well, as the reader is more likely to notice them where they are placed – at the top and in the middle.

Under the Gig Guide subheading, there is a “Week Planner” and a gig guide. These are likely to be regulars – a page which regularly appears in every issue of the magazine. These are good regulars to have, as there are many gigs that happen every month from several different bands so it is important to keep your readership up-to-date on the latest shows.

In the top half of the page there are three images, all of which are articles inside the magazine. This provides a teaser for the reader as to what they should expect in the magazine, and may entice the reader into buying it. The fact that there are more images than text on the page may suggest that they are catering to a younger audience, as youths may not have the attention span to read a page where there is a majority of text.
The editors letter is tucked away in the corner, as it is unlikely that it is going to be read by many. It is also a good space-filler, which makes it seem like the page has more content than it does.

In the bottom right there is a section which offers the chance to subscribe to Kerrang!. It uses yellow on a black background and white on a red background in order to grab the reader’s attention.
