Research

As I am going to be designing the cover, contents page and a double page spread from a metal magazine I have been researching around the genre to try and pinpoint the key techniques and styles used to define metal magazines as metal.I have been looking at Metal Hammer magazine and Kerrang! in particular, in addition to other less well known magazines to scout for common ground between designs.
These Kerrang! covers show common ground in that they have a headline story taking up a vast amount of room - as well as pictures of the band looking bad-ass and secondary plugs taking place in the bottom half of the page.
