The use of famous and well know people in magazines such as Heat, is also a great way of catching people's attention because the reader's want to know whats going on with the famous stars.

Magazine's such as Kerrang are music based magazines which is associated with rock music. The magazine cover will have a big image as well as titles and other text items. The idea of Kerrang magazine is to get insight on new and up coming music as well as bands and information on them. This magazine would probabl be aimed at teenagers around the age of 16 up to the age of 25 years. This magazine is similar to a magazine like heat as it gives the latest gossip and news on bands but the difference is that Kerrang is a great more informative and probably more formal than Heat. http://www.kerrang.com/

The website fits in with the magazine quite well using dark colours which also relates to the idea of heavy metal and rock music.

Magazines like heat are very popular and well known which is a reason why the use adverts on the television to sell the magazine. The popular magazine advert and slogan 'I'm going to London, to buy a heat magazine' is one of the great selling points which has excelled the magazine forward where as Kerrang isn't as popular therefore it is not made as public.
