The magazine cover uses bold design elements like a large red masthead on a white background, all-caps pull quotes, and red cover lines to stand out visually. The central image of Cheryl Cole matches the headline "Cheryl Cole ROCKS" to clearly communicate the magazine's focus on her and rock music. Bold colors like red and white are used prominently throughout to attract attention and signal the magazine's dominant style.
