2. Front cover: The title of the magazine is quite
small compared to the magazine Front cover its
self. The title tells the reader what the magazine
name is. The Colours that have been used for
the title is a dark grey colour to show frustration,
anger or death. Other colours that have been
used are red which is a powerful but energetic at
the same time. The text that has been used is a
violent and disturbing kind of text that involves
‘Murder, Piss and Cannibalism, These words are
not used in normal magazine like Vibe, NME
and Blender. The price of the magazine is £1.80
which is an average price for a magazine that
specially made for music.
The dominant image for the magazine is a man
which shows half of his face. The man has a
smirk on his face which makes him look very
cynical. He has 2 main colours on his face which
is purple and red which can be used to
symbolize blood anger. However, the purple is
used to bring out his eye and to magnify them
and make them stand out. The layout of the
magazine front cover has moved all the text to
the left and made the dominant image move to
the right to separate the two.

3. Contents page: On the
contents page there is a
wide selection of picture
from singers to people
holding guns. There is a
small amount of text to
show which page is talking
about. But, it also shows
Who is going to be in the
magazine each week it is
displayed on the right
hand side of the page. It
also has at the top a brief
description of the
magazine its self. The
layout has been used to
make the title of the page
standout the most
compared to anything
else. But, the images are
shown to be quite
important as they are
more bolder than the text
its self. Also, the headings
are made to be quite bold
to show their importance
of each page.

4. Front cover: This magazine has still got an
audience type of Young people. But this
magazine is more to do with People who
interested in music and normal
behaviour( not like Kerang). The colours
used are red which again Suggest that the
audience it has been targeted at is an
energetic audience. Also this magazine is
more to do with sex and celebrities. The
layout of the image is shown to be the most
important as it is shown as a symbol of
youth.
Some of the words used have been put into
bold colourful fonts like they have been
spray painted onto the Magazine to make it
look like it has been vandalised by youth
again suggesting the target audience. It
also gives you a section of the magazine
which gives inside information on celebrities
and truths about them which also gives a
inside opinion out what they are expecting
to find in the magazine.
