The popular metal magazine "Metal Hammer" does have the same sort of style as Kerrang. However this magazine only uses one large image of a band member, which highlights that the main article will be about him. Down both sides have sub headings in silver of other bands and artists about their latest news which could grab the readers attention. However for the main news, an orange flamey text is used at the top as well as the centre. The plain black background reflects the images and text well.The contents page holds a lot of subtitles other other news as well as plenty of short quotes from interviews of ther bands. The contents page uses a lot of red on the side and for a lot of text, perhaps to symbolize blood, or evil which both could be assosiated with metal. It also uses four columns which are not the same length, the largest one being full of images to show the min a better quality.
One of the double pages of this magazine focuses on just one band and doesn't include any other sub headings. The image of the band members takes up most of the pages which shows you what they look like and gives you an idea of what sort of music they play. I feel the grey headings dont seem to stand out so well because it's difficult to read from the black background.
