PAGE FURNITURE / DESIGN ELEMENTS
The logo of KERRANG! itself is a design element due to the cracking of the masthead which represents the edgy and rough look of the rock magazine. The strip along the right side of the magazine show more acts featured inside which will attract the target audience into wanting to read them. In addition, the images used in the top right corner represent more artists found inside, but the use of the red banner behind it helps to make them stand out. Also seen along the right side of the magazine are three images with a white box round them, making them look as if they are framed, representing they are posters. The puff on the left side instantly draws attention as it stands out against the dark background drawing attention to this cover line. Similarly, the key information has a box around it, making it pop out and contrast against the other text.
The dark black box cut around the pulled quote and text helps to make it stand out, instantly catching the readers attention. The bright white and pink font contrast against the dark black making it very striking. Similarly, the interview is mainly set out in a question and answer format, so by putting a white border around the text helps show the reader which part of the text is the question making it easier to follow.
The white border surrounding the magazine looks almost as if it is multiple stage lights shining, thus meeting the genre of the magazine. It also meets the colour scheme and house style of the magazine.

The use of the drop cap at the start of the magazine helps to signify the beginning of the article in a professional manor.
The article starts with a pull quote featuring a rhetorical question saying "Do i ever have a casual Friday?"This may make the reader feel like they can relate to the artist as even though they are famous, they still have an average life and chill like most audience members likely do. It is also an easy way to encourage the reader to continue reading as it acts almost as a sneak preview.
