Analyse 3 existing music magazine covers: Rock Sound Magazine.

Rock Sound.
Design features:
The house style for Rock Sound magazine is black, white, red and yellow; which are colours usually associated with rock music and they stand out against the dark background image. The main image is a medium shot of lead singers of three different bands because the magazine’s main article is introducing these new bands. The main headline stands out against the dark image and is bigger than the other cover lines, which attracts attention. The red button at the top left attracts attention too because the red stands out and it is one of the first things you see on the page. The font is the same except the main cover line which has a different font to attract readers to the magazine.

Language:
The phrase ‘New blood’ with the names of bands underneath informs readers that they are new bands; this makes people want to read more about these bands so they buy the magazine. The cover lines have information like ‘reveal all’ and ‘access all areas’ which intrigues readers to read the articles and find out more about the featured bands.

Image:
The image is a medium shot of three lead singers of different bands; they are new bands which the magazine is advertising to readers. The singers are looking directly at the readers and so it is more personal and attracts their attention.
