Uses dark colours again linking with the rock theme with black tended to be the main dark colour with purple and white being the lighter colours but only so they stand out from the black and dark colours so you can read the text so you can find out what is actually in this magazine.

With the photo being the dominant thing on the front cover and the photo is posed in such a way its almost mysterious with what I can tell the main/leader of the band is at the front and seems to be at the front of the page more than the rest of them shwoing he is the main and the front man for the band, and the pose of the photo almost stands out and makes you want to buy it.

It uses a variety font style as it uses a basic serif style then a more dectotive style and then some bold font styles to give it an abnormal effect it makes it different than others and the layout of the cover is messy but it works in a formal way as the text doesnt cover the photograph making it known that the magazine want to promote the band and to promote the fact that they have the band in the magazine and have the facts and information from that band. Also they have the advertisment small in the left hand corner and very small hardly able to see it showing they care more about the music, artists and bands in the magazine rather than the adverts. Also none of the faces are covered and they make sure that no text or other things are covering the faces shwoing that the band is important and more important than anything else.

On the front cover it uses and burned and ripped look to maybe give the impression on the music the band on the front performs as its rough music but still good.
