This magazine is different to any that i have seen before.Firstly there is no main image of a band or artist which especially for a music magazine is very unorthodox.Secondly there are no visible sell lines. The magazine cover does conform to the usual magazine however as it limits its use of colour to three main colours (yellow,black and white) which contrast in an attempt to draw the readers eye to the cover. From a distance it would be hard to tell that this was a magazine cover, this was perhaps done intentionally to intrigue the reader. The large,bold font also acheives this well.

From this cover it would be hard to tell which genre the magazine features.Even the language on the cover is vague. Words such as definitive,final,greatest and accurate are used to display confidence which may be considered a male trait.There is very little to be said about the layout style apart from being clear to read.No photography was used as their is no image for the feature artical.
