Analysis of front cover number 2


2) The front cover is once again dominated by an image that is obscuring the name of the magazine. It focuses more heavily on the colour black which differs from the first cover and sticks more to the conventions of a rock/metal magazine.  The name of the magazine is in the same font as the first cover however the colour of it is different to match more to the colour scheme.
 The band featured on the cover are all in defiant poses and look like they are shouting out from the cover- this ties in with the style of the magazine as it showcases very loud music as a rule. 
 One of the feature articles named at the top of the magazine ‘dangerous days with My Chemical Romance’ uses alliteration to make it trip more easily of the tongue and to make it more memorable and attractive to read.
The cover is very organised in order to be more accessible to the eye and more attractive for potential customers to read, also the colour scheme helps with this as the white gives the effect of more space on the page; making it look far less cluttered. I like the way alliteration has been used as it adds more impact to a title and it's a lot more memorable, I will think about doing this for my front cover.
