How front covers are conceived and laid out

Rock sound have used the main colours of white black and red in their magazine. They used black as the main colour of the magazine because the main story is about the band black veil brides so they use the black to show a dark affect which the band tries to portray.The font is unusual as it looks like it has been written instead of a big bold font like it has on the title giving it kind of scary look.The photo is a close up of the model with the writing around the sides which gives it a neat professional look

Magazine is set out in an unusual way the headline is in the top left corner of the magazine there is one main picture which takes up the whole page
