The dominant image is unconventional
because it takes up most of the front
cover and covers up half of the logo. An image this large is
rare and challenges the conventions of
front covers.
Classic magazine tagline that is on every
issue.
Very little wording on the front cover because the image
of Bono is dominant.
Barcode is conventionally in the bottom corner

Bono is looking at the camera from an angle which is
once again unconventional.

uninspiring.
Pete Doherty is the celebrity used on the page. In the image he is holding a carling
and looks drunk and scruffy. Straight away this signals what the
content of the magazine will be like.
Date and issue are at the top.
The size of the font used is quite small
and insignificant. This might be so that the
attention of the reader stays on the image of
the celebrity.
The colour scheme is very simple and
doesn’t stand out on the page. The
subdued nature of the magazine is kept

issues in the interview. Instantly this shows
that there is a specific target audience and it is not suitable for younger
people.
The spread is full of pictures which breaks down the information and makes it easier for the reader to
digest the content.
All of the pictures
are anchored
with a descriptio
n of the picture itself.
Very small article because the spread is focussing on
the images.
There is a competition which encourages the readers participation.
Serif font.
The members of the band Mcfly are all dressed in racing attire. This shows that they are out of their
comfort zone and doing something that is a one off just for the magazine.
The first letter of the article takes up 3 lines to indent the text and Draw the
attention to the start of the article
The image shows that the band are fun and up for a laugh by
taking part in the activity.
