Differences

The main and biggest differences are:

  • The masthead - They are usually larger than the mastheads used on general magazines to attract attention. The mastheads on music magazines are sometimes partially covered up, like Kerrang!, this is based on the popularity of the magazine. Kerrang! magazine is very popular in Britain and is aimed at an audience which enjoy the rock genre of music.

  • Main Image - The main image used on a music magazine is usually of a singer or band related to the genre of music that the magazine is based on. These images are done in a range of camera shots from close - ups to long shots.

  • Articles/Headlines - The headlines and sub-headings are also music related and sometimes even quotes used by the band/artist used in the main image.
