The magazine cover is dominated by the colour scheme and the flames that direct the eye towards the name of the magazine and band that is featured in the main article. The image has also been heavily edited so it almost looks like graphic art, the eyes also show fire in them which links the picture to the rest of the layout. Although this front cover has been the most edited out of the ones I have analysed, in my opinion it makes the image blend in more to the background than it standing out like the others. The fonts are also the plainest I have looked at as they are all the same colour. The image is obscured by a competition advertisement which draws attention away from the image and feature story.
The flames obviously draw attention to the feature article and make it stand out, and it also fits in with the heavy metal vibe of the magazine itself. It also creates a theme that will probably link to the theme shown on the DPS. I would use this idea as it gives the pages something to link them all up together
