Front cover: The title of the magazine is quite small compared to the magazine Front cover its self. The title tells the reader what the magazine name is. The Colours that have been used for the title is a dark grey colour to show frustration, anger or death. Other colours that have been used are red which is a powerful but energetic at the same time. The text that has been used is a violent and disturbing kind of text that involves ‘Murder, Piss and Cannibalism, These words are not used in normal magazine like Vibe, NME and Blender. The price of the magazine is £1.80 which is an average price for a magazine that specially made for music.

The dominant image for the magazine is a man which shows half of his face. The man has a smirk on his face which makes him look very cynical. He has 2 main colours on his face which is purple and red which can be used to symbolize blood anger. However, the purple is used to bring out his eye and to magnify them and make them stand out. The layout of the magazine front cover has moved all the text to the left and made the dominant image move to the right to separate the two.

Contents page: On the contents page there is a wide selection of picture from singers to people holding guns. There is a small amount of text to show which page is talking about. But, it also shows Who is going to be in the magazine each week it is displayed on the right hand side of the page. It also has at the top a brief description of the magazine its self. The layout has been used to make the title of the page standout the most compared to anything else. But, the images are shown to be quite important as they are more bolder than the text its self. Also, the headings are made to be quite bold to show their importance of each page.

Front cover: This magazine has still got an audience type of Young people. But this magazine is more to do with People who interested in music and normal behaviour( not like Kerang). The colours used are red which again Suggest that the audience it has been targeted at is an energetic audience. Also this magazine is more to do with sex and celebrities. The layout of the image is shown to be the most important as it is shown as a symbol of youth.

Some of the words used have been put into bold colourful fonts like they have been spray painted onto the Magazine to make it look like it has been vandalised by youth again suggesting the target audience. It also gives you a section of the magazine which gives inside information on celebrities and truths about them which also gives a inside opinion out what they are expecting to find in the magazine.

Contents page: There are no colours used in the contents page for a reason it draws your attention to the magazine cover. The colour used to draw the audience to it is red as it is a strong colour. The layout of the contents page has been laid out to show the page numbers and what is on those pages. Also, they have been put into the top right corner to show that it has been sectioned off from the rest of the image but also to make it stand out from the rest of the page too.
