Rock music appeal to a lot of ethnic groups who are interested in fights, alcohol and drugs. In the masthead, they have used a name half in white and half in yellow so that it stands out. The writing in the masthead is bold so that it catches the readers eye.
The colours on the cover are red, blue, yellow and white. Some of the colours show that it is rock music because it is like fire. The writing on the cover is cramped and tilted. This helps the reader by showing them what is on the inside of the magazine. The photo is a medium-close up shot of a man with long hair which shows us stereotyping of people who are interested in rock music. The facial expression in the image is serious and bright, the man is wearing a black t-shirt. The main image can attract the target audience because it shows them what kind of music the magazine is talking about. There are images on the cover of people dancing and talking showing the target audience what kind of magazine it is. There are people in an image that look like they could be listening to rock music just like a lot of the members in the target audience may enjoy doing. The images have teasers that show the readers what may be inside the magazine. There is writing on the cover in short simple sentences to create a picture in the readers heads. On the front cover, it says ’25 years of’, this could appeal to people over the age of 30 because they may remember when album first came out that long ago. There are some cliff hanger-like sentences in the words ion the cover which makes the target audience curious to find out more about it. On the cover, there is a bar code the name of the magazine and the date, all of which are quite small to make more room for images and text.
