The front cover is clearly a reference to Nirvana's most succesfull album 'Nevermind'. Kurt Cobain mimicks the baby floating underwaterwith his arms spread out like the baby on the album cover. Thorugh this it is clear that this issue was made for Nirvana fans, in the top right corner it says 'Kurt Cobain 16 years gone' telling us that the main articles are on Kurt Cobain. The photo on the front cover is composed well , Kurt Cobain takes up most of the framemaking it clear that he is the main subject of the issue and attracting more nirvana fans as a result. The backround colour is a bright blue which is very eyecatching and would make the magazine stand out more in comparison to others. 'KERRANG' is the name of the magazine and is written boldly and clearly over the top. 'KERRANG' is written using black and white which make it stand out, also the colours of black and white conform with the convension of the rock genre. Underneath the magazine name, on the top left corner, is the band name 'NIRVANA' which is written in the same font as it was on Nirvana's 'Nevermind' album cover. Other additional information on the content and articles of the magazine is written at the bottom of the magazine. In particular the advert on the bottom left of the magazine promoting free posters buyers get in addition to purchasing the magazine, which make the audience want to purchase the magazine more.
