Front cover analysis
This magazine cover uses bold red text and a photo of the Gorillaz cartoon characters to draw attention to key information about the band. The largest text promotes an interview with Damon Albarn and highlights the band and magazine. The sinister cartoon characters seem to be toying with or poisoning a human, representing how the band has become defined by their fictional identities rather than actual members. The cover targets teens and young adults with its use of rebellious cartoon characters and appeal to younger audiences who enjoy adult themes in cartoons.
