-I like the style of Rock
Sound were the band
name is in front of an
image of the band.
-The title of the magazine can be
slightly covered by the main image as
everyone knows the magazine but it
gives a messy look. The look is suited
to a magazine aimed at rock music.
-A little bit of extra to further
intrigue the reader.

as the magazine will appeal to
readers as they will feel they are
getting something free. They make
the posters clear on the front cover.

out as they use
contrasting colours.

6. Photos
-Lead singer
is the centre
of the photo
-Doesn’t look like a
planned photo. Adds
an effect that the
band members don’t
care.
-Not taken in a posh
studio, rather an old
building. Suggests
what the attitude of
the band is.
-Simple. Not very
colourful or
much going on.
All the attention
is on the artist.

the effect
the band
want to
be seen
as. Each

looks
‘perfect’
