emphasise it and
make sure people
see. This is a
selling point.
Lots going on. Not much
space that isn’t taken up
by the main band or
adverts of what's in the
magazine. This is a very
clear code that can be
seen in all magazines of
this type such as
KERRANG and Rock
Sound.

exclusive” are typical to
magazines of this genre .

top of the
page, seen in
nearly all
magazines of
this genre.
Fall out boy, the bands name,
is very bold. It is also a
different type of text and
colour of font to the rest of the
text on the cover. This is a
marketing technique used by
this genre of magazine as it
instantly draws attention to the
band and bring in fans.
Again, a large photo of
the featured band centres
the cover. This is very
specific to this genre of
magazine and can be seen
in almost every example.

band and entices them to
buy the magazine.
Phrases like this are common to
front covers of magazines of this
genre. They make fans want to read
more and therefore buy the
magazine.
The whole page is
clustered with adverts
for what's inside the rest
of the magazine. Barely
any of the cover is blank
space. This is a common
feature of magazines
such as KERRANG and
ROCK SOUND.
