This magazine has a successful title as it has a different design that goes beyond a simple font, it is eye catching and different which makes it successful in making people remember the name of their magazine.

The colour is similar to other magazines I have researched on each one the title has worked when it is white therefore I could take this forward on my own magazine.

The background colour isn’t very pleasing however the light source behind the image works well and makes the eye focus on the face of the artist, it almost frames his head and makes it withstanding from the text. I feel the colour doesn’t fit very well yet the shading of the colour is successful.

I like how the image captures a moment as he is actually shown to be playing his guitar as if in the middle of a concert, his face represents this well and makes the reader feel part of the concert and make them want to read about it as they have now seen an image from it.

The colour theme is again a mix of three main colours; white, yellow and green. It works well as it all fits with each other and clashes in a good way however I feel the position of the test and the way it obstructs the image doesn’t work, I would prefer mine to be lined up and framing the image rather than being over it.
The information is fun and capturing and in the style that would make their reader want to read on. I feel this magazine is more for teenagers as the language used represents it such as ‘WTF?!’

The information has been put in a different format with backgrounds and large extras added on such as the ‘PLUS!’ boxes.

The top line of information is successful on this magazine as it was on the one before because it gives it a border which is similar to the one at the bottom, framing the image and the text.
