The main colours used are Red,black and white. the bands heads are all covering the title but still clear to see what the magazine is called. the bands name are at the bottom to advertise. it is in white writing with a black outline. the stories are all down to one side leaving plenty of room for the main image of the band. i think this magazine cover is quite simple and plain it doesn't really catch the readers attention. the band stand out because of there dark clothes among a cheery background shows the reader where the band come from.
