Big headline at the top announcing “ Massive” giveaway. This will draw the target audience into buying the magazine for their chance to win the prize. Red background and bold white font attracts the audiences attention to the give away.

The magazines name is shown in a font similar to cracked glass. This could reflect on the type of music the magazine represents as being loud in order to crack the glass. It could also represent the attitude of the genre of the rock magazines music in the sense that glass is smashed connotes images of violence and anger. The text is behind the lead singers head, meaning that the magazines name is obviously noticeable and well established enough to only have half the name of the magazine showing. This could also represent that it isn’t the most important thing, but the music is, hence the lead singer in front of the text. The font is also in bold and black so it stands out enough, but isn’t in a bright colour to draw the audiences attention away from the music which seems to be the most important part of the magazine.

Very big picture of the band dominating the majority of the front cover. Shows their importance in the magazine and suggests a feature length article about them. Also could attract fans of the band to the magazine.

Large text in front of the image of the band with their name. It helps summarises the main feature of the magazine in this edition. The size of the text and the boldness will also attract the audiences attention and perhaps encourage the bands fans to purchase the magazine due to the band they like being dominant in the cover.

Attractive female singer in the far right corner. This will appeal particulary to the male audience as she is attractive and so it might encourage them to purchase the magazine. Including the female singer will also appeal to fans of her music so again may encourage them to open and read the magazine and perhaps buy it.

The bands name “Paramore” in bold red font is bold and noticeable and if fans of the band read it they might be encouraged to buy the

Barcode showing the price and issue of the magazine so the audience know how much it costs and if it is the latest edition

The strip across the bottom reads other bands names. This is a unique selling point of the magazine as it appeals to audiences who don’t like the bands that are the main article. It will grab the readers eye and allow them to notice what other bands are included in the magazine and might then make them buy the magazine despite not likely the band on the front cover.

A quirky Pun is used to tell the audience about the type of interview in the magazine. “ unfold the puzzle of life” this refers to the bands album entitled “puzzle” and acts as a funny subtitle.

The big word “free automatically grabs the readers attention as the majority of people get intrigued by free things in magazines. It makes them want to read more about the free offer and perhaps end up buying the magazine. Choice of words such as “poster special” make it seem like the posters are a one off/special occasion and could help convince the reader to buy the magazine, increasing sales.
