Research/Case Study - Front Cover - Rock Sound Magazine

The Front cover of  Rock Sound Magazine

• The image is a medium close up shot, this is known because the picture captured goes up to their knees.
• There are two other images on the contents page but they are smaller mid shot as it cuts at their waist.
• The skyline shows images of artists and there names. It also tells the audience that there is a free CD and poster in the magazine.
• A free CD has been put on the cover of the magazine which will make the reader want to buy the magazine even more.
• The cover lines have a red background and the text is either white or yellow.
• The colour scheme for the front cover is red, black, white and yellow
• 'Rock Sound' is the masthead and it does not stand out as much as 'Paramore' which is the main story in the magazine, I think Paramore stand out more because it is in the middle of the cover and it is white and in capital letters.
• The font is pretty much all the same, the text is all in capital letters, and you will only find that on a rock magazine which this is.
• You can tell that it is a rock magazine because of the image and the colour scheme used.
• There is a bar code on the front cover and the price is underneath it in pounds, American, Canadian and Australian dollars showing that it is not only sold in the UK.
