Analysis of Rock magazine covers 1.

The shot on this cover is full length and covers a bit of the masthead. However the bottom half of the shot is covered by the free CD.

The cover stories on the right hand side are quite small and that is what i don't like about this front cover. 

Following on from that i don't like the colour scheme of black, white and gold.

The font used is serif, and i think this font suits the genre of the magazine as its not got any flicky bits on the letters.

The advertisement of the free CD is a good addition to the front cover as it will attract readers to buy the magazine especially if the CD includes songs/bands that interest them.

Over all i think this front cover is a good representation of the genre as it has a suitable band on the front.
