Colour
The colour of this magazine has a normal plain dark grey background. The bands colour of the clothing is not very bright either. The only thing that is a bright colour is the magazine name, which is red, this stands out more. This creates a boring and dull mood, and the colours do not give the magazine a very good first impression as the colours are quite boring. From the dull colours the magazine does not attract any specific gender audience.
Design
There is only one image on this magazine and it takes up the whole background of the magazine. The font is black and pink in a white box which makes it more oblivious to the readers. The main bit of writing is the name of the band and is written in the biggest font to get the main attraction, also being placed in the middle of page is very eye catching to the readers. The two other bits of writing is also surrounded by a white box but written in a smaller font so it’s not as noticeable to the reader. Also with the image being breaking glass and the words “break though” it matches up and fits with the image and what the band is doing.
Images
The main image is the picture of the band, (kings of Leon), which are smashing through class. It is as if the magazine is the glass and there smashing it to get out of the magazine. By the band doing this it shows there rebellious/rock side to the target audience, the audience aspire to be like this because of the rebellious prospect.
Pose, style, hair and makeup
The band Kings of Leon is known for there normal ‘scruffy’ look, so in this photo they are just wearing simple clothes and hair is the same as it normally would be. They are mostly focusing on the pose of them smashing through the class. The readers like the band for this reason of the lack of care about their appearance and this is what attracts them more to the band.
Words used on the cover
The words used on this magazine match with the image on the magazine. The words ‘Break Through’ match the image as the band is breaking through the glass on the magazine cover. The writing that is used is not very large besides the main title in the middle of the page; you would be able to see this from far so it would catch the reader’s eye.

Overall Impression
The magazine main image is very eye catching, and i think that it gives of a good first impression. The magazine shows what is inside it but not in great detail because the main focus is the image of the band. The audience that this magazine is targeted at is focused on well as they use a big band that is well known. The only problem is because of the one main image it only attracts the people that like that band, for example if people did not like kings of Leon they would be put of buying this magazine, because they are the main image and it looks like that the magazine will be focusing on kings of Leon.
