I have chosen to analyze Rock Sound. A magazine targeted at people, men and women between the ages of around 15 and 25. The main colours used are yellow, grey and white with a very simple layout. The title of the magazine is in capital letters, it is bold and white. The main image of a mixture of iconic rockstars from british bands slightly covers the title but it is still readable. On the left hand side, there is a list of bands featured in the magazine so the reader can take a quick scan and see if theres a particular band they are interested in. The main feature of the magazine is 'Brits on the rampage!' which is in yellow font in the bottom right hand corner. The title of the main story is 'we predict a riot' in shattered lettering which catches the readers attention. It was the first thing i looked at. The image matches the title and the rockstars are holding bricks, bats, smashed wine bottles, etc to create the feel of a riot. Under the main story, there's a list of the bands who are on the cover and who the main feature will be about. There's a small banner at the top of the magazine which advertises the 'FREE POSTERS' with small images of them and it also mentions a few other bands, these are clearly less important.
