Magazine Cover 3

This is the third magazine cover that i am researching. This magazine cover is quite similar to the first cover. However, name of the magazne doesnt spread across the top of the page, it is just in the corner because it is only one letter.
The layout is a little bit different to the first and second cover because you still have the main image/cover shot in the middle of the page but the splash is layered over the image whereas the other headlines are either under the image or around it. There isnt a 'frame' of stories around the main image on this magazine, unlike the first cover. There isnt even loads of stories on the front cover, there is only 4 at the most and thats including the splash.
The colours are quite plain on this cover. The only main colours are red and white, however there is only one word that they want to stand out, which they have put in yellow because it is the name of a famous band. They have kept it plain and simple.
Nearly all of the images on the cover are close ups of the celebrities faces, like on the last 2 covers. This is a technique that many music magazine companies are using. Basically i think tha technique is very affective because it shows all of the celebrities' facial expressions, so you know how they are feeling or what they are thinking.
