Colour scheme - the colours used on this cover are red, white and blue. This is very patriotic and is used in this circumstance to reinforce the Britishness of the band and the magazine. I do like the fact the colours have a meaning behind them, however I don't think I'll use this colour scheme. I quite like the blue banner along the bottom and so may use this on my cover.
Free Gifts - yet again there are posters on offer with the magazine, drawing in young audiences. I have seen this in a few magazines now and think that its very effective. So I will aim to have some form of free posters advertised on the front cover.
Lots of different artists - there is a wide range of artists on the cover, this draws in a larger collective audience. I don't know if I'll have quite as many artists on the cover as this magazine does but I will aim to have three or four to create the same kind of vibe.
Main Picture - the main image is very relaxed and fun, this shows that the band are quirky and nice people and so fans are pulled towards buying the magazine. I am definitely going to have a very relaxed, playful photo on my cover, I also like the fact that it's a band on the cover think this makes the page look fuller and more appealing to young audiences.
Quotes - there are a few quotes on the cover which gives a taste of what's to come in the magazine. I'll have one quote on the cover to give a slight hint as to the tone of the magazine however I don't want to have too much text on the cover as that would put off younger readers.
Informal language - there are lots of example of more colloquial language on the cover such as: 'shock pics.' This is far more associated with younger people. I will aim to use this not only on my cover but throughout my magazine as its important to create a consistent tone throughout the magazine.
