The lighting on this cover is very interesting. The members of the band are very well lit, apart from curtain specific areas of their faces. However, the lead singers face has more shadowing than the faces of the other two members. This, along with his tattoos and hood show him as the more dangerous or possibly mysterious member of the band. His white hood highlights the dark areas of his face magnifying this effect. The purpose of this is to obviously highlight the lead singer of the band, this is also done with him being positioned closer to the camera and being over the title of the magazine, whereas the other members of the band and positioned behind it. This shows the difference in importance of the different band members.
The strap line banner simply says ‘massive download ticket give away.’ This would encourage people to buy the magazine if they think there is a chance of winning a download festival ticket or tickets.
The bottom strap line and free poster special giveaways are well proportioned and also well positioned. They are eye-catching enough to draw the attention of the reader, but they do not take over the whole of the cover.
Also, the Paramore part of the cover is positioned in a way that will also catch the reader’s attention, and the caption ‘Hayley starts a riot,’ is a play on words from the bands style as they are heavily associated with the word ‘riot.’
