The first front cover that i amgoing to look at is one by 'Kerrang' magazine. Kerrang is a rock/metal magazine and concentrates on the same aspects of music as i hope to.
We can see that on this front cover there is a lot gong on. However it is clear to see that there is one main focus on the front cover and that is the band 'Panic! at the disco' we know this because their picture takes up the majority of the front cover also the name of the band is in a very large eye catching font. This cover also offers 'FREE, live posters' due to the fact that this text is surrounded by red it really ecomes eye-catching.
The second magazine front cover that i am going to analyse comes from them agazine 'The Big Cheese' this magazine looks a lot more at punk/metal bands, it is a much larger magazine and has a lot more variety inside.
Just by looking at the front cover we get a clear feeling as to what this magazine would be like to read, on the front cover there is a quote from the band saying 'we don't give a f**k" this shows us that the magazine is not affraid to let the band that they are interviewing say whatever they want. The bold and bright colours on the front of this magazine are in deep contrast to th genres of music that feature in it.
The final front cover i am going to look at comes from a music magazine called NME. This magazine has a wide variety of indie/rock/electro bands in it. This is steering away from my genre a bit but i do still believe that it could be linked.
This front cover is a lot appears to be a bit calmer than the other two, the yellows and reds are used throughout the front cover, they are the two sugnificant colours that also feature in the magazine a lot. The title is always the same and always appears in the exact same place, this gives the magazine a sense of identity. I like the angle of the photograph that is on the front cover, it creates a different dimension to the front cover.
