Green Day is the main feature of this magazine, the lead singer Billy Joe Armstrong is closer to lens of the camera rather than the other two which connotes he is more dominant one in the band and one people would recognise easier. The picture seems to be taken as part of a photo shoot; due to the white background and the way they are posed rather than a more natural pose. Their facial expressions portray them as being hard and in your face, this is how some of their music is; very in your face with some of their songs. The main colour scheme is black and white which ties in with what they are wearing. Possibly the colour was meant to tie in with what they are wearing.
The master head Kerrang is bold; it looks like it has cracks in it which connotes that the music is loud and is breaking the magazine because of the sound. The text on top of the image is bold and makes a statement that Green Day is the main feature of this magazine. The bold font gives the magazine an impact like their music has an impact on everyone who listens to it. Even the font at the bottom left of the images still strong and bold even though it’s small.
High key lighting is used because they are dressed in black so it makes them stand out. The strip going down the side of the cover and the text on the bottom left uses red and yellow; these are explosion like colours and contrast against the black and white of the main image. The images in the red strip are quite aggressive images which connotes the kind of music they create.
In conclusion the overall image of this magazine gives the impression of aggression and anger which can be taken out in the music these artists produce.
