Kerrang! magazine

With the magazines I had chosen to compare conventions, I found that many of the conventions where either similar or the same. From this I have found that many of the music magazines are alike in the conventions used. This could be to tell the reader/ buyer that it is a music magazine so that they can tell them apart from a different genre magazine.

In this image, the conventions are similar to any music magazine because it relates to the music genre. Paramore is also used as the main cover image to tell the reader/ buyer that what is inside the magazine relates to music and that the magazine will be based on music.
