Unlike the first two magazines I believe this has more objects on it to attract the customer's attention, though surprisingly on this issue the title of the magazine is not really covered but it does however have images as the main attraction. The group's name is then placed on top of the image of them rather than underneath like the 'Rollingstone' magazine font cover. There is also a quote from the group that is on a white background so stands out more. There are still only a few colours used, the main ones being yellow and red (again two primary colours) but white and black are also used.


This time though, the font style for the title of the magazine is quite plain, easy to read though. It also advertises quite a few famous bands such as 'Babyshambles', 'The Killers' which a lot of people follow so are good bands to mention for the front cover as these are probably an 'alternative' kind of genre or maybe classed as 'rock' sometimes too.


Instead of images behind the glimpse of an article there is just a plain background however in my own personal opinion I believe that a simple object behind the features (like on the Kerrang! magazine) captures the attention more and looks slightly more professional. On all three magazines the barcodes are shown clearly normally on a white background and can be easily spotted as the price is usually shown there too. Apart from that most of the music magazines are quite similar.
