2. Text is edgy and bright which makes it
different from other magazines of it’s
genre and makes it stand out on the
page clearly stating what page it is.
Main image shows a popular figure of a
well known band giving direct address
making the audience feel more involved. It
makes the person look quite mysterious
due to the dark colours and smile making
them more encouraged to buy it.
The colours are contrasting with both bright and
dark colours which gives it a good effect and
makes it easy for the audience to see and navigate
through the page without struggle.
Putting an editors article on a contents
page is quite different to most music
magazines and also quite interesting as
it gives the target audience a sense of
trust and communication between the
magazine itself as if the magazine is
almost giving advice to the audience
and people would often take the side of
the editor as it keeps customers up to
date with the latest information.

numbers and information so that the
reader can very easily navigate through
the page and find exactly what it is they
