Overall, I have tried to follow the conventional rock colours along with the iconic damaged appearance. For example the Contents title sign appears very battered and worn out due to me rubbing parts out lightly, and adding little white dots which show that the sign is pealing.
I have included the merchandise design on my contents as it looked out of place on my cover. I feel by putting it on my contents will make it look like an extra feature to the magazine, not a main feature.
To show that "Falling Fearless" is the main story this month, I have put the singer (Will) on the front. I have faded his body along with his t-shirt into the darkness to make him appear evil, which follows the iconic rock look as many artists appear scary in the rock genre. For example, some bands wear demonic masks in order to show the rock genre (Slipknot)
I have added an editors message as most magazines include one, this gives the magazine a professional look. In the editors message, I have described what is going on in this issue.
Next to Will, I have included my own photo of Luke Rich and a Kaiser Chieves concert I have been too. These images intrigue the reader to what these articles are about, tempting them to read further. It also gives the audience an quick and easy way to see what is inside the magazine before they buy it.
I have also added a pull quote from a famous artist that can be considered controversial. This will entice the reader to buy the magazine and see what the artist is talking about and his views on it. The topic is bullying and that is a very common thing, this means many people could relate to it and perhaps buy the magazine for tips from their hero.
