This magazine cover shows readers that Dave Grohl is the main musician they are focusing on and there’s most likely going to be an interview with him, we can think that if they took him in for studio picture of him they’re sure to get an interview. We can see that this issue is focused around rock as there are many big names in rock all over the magazine, this is done to attract a specific audience of people. Nicki Minaj also mentioned in this magazine for the people who buy Q for the pop music which it is known for.
This issue is mostly red which is there to attract the attention of potential buyers along with Dave Grohl’s face. Red’s connotations of danger also help sell this, as Grohl looks a bit crazy in this with Foo Fighters exploding out of his mouth. The red and gold selling lines are there to add variation from just black and are also the color scheme of this magazine.
There’s only one image used in this cover which is a composite of three unless they somehow got Foo Fighters to explode out of Dave Grohl’s mouth. This image represents rock as anyone who is familiar with rock music should know that he is one of the biggest names in rock for the last quarter of a century, having been in Nirvanna, Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, Tenacious D, Them Crooked Vultures and many other projects.
The magazine is designed for people to easily see what it is about, showing the bands and musicians that are featured in different colors for each coverline for readers to be able to easily read the magazine. The special offer of an “Exclusive unheard Foos album” will also attract readers who are fan of the Foo Fighters and the FREE! would attract more attention of potential buyers who are not sure whether to buy it or not.

This magazine cover has a wide focus of artists and uses the faces of many people to attract readers, they included The Wombats as the subjects of the main picture which would attract readers who like, or listen to The Wombats or any other indie-pop music. The heading under the name of the band shows that the band is popular in Britain and would show that they are not interviewing just some small indie act but a major national band which would interest people who may not know who they are but would want to know more. The image relates with the heading as it says "Britain's gone silly for" and the members of the band are not being very serious, this would make the readers feel that the related article inside would be entertaining and not a serious one.
The use of the blue and yellow colors, which are very contrasting and used widely to attract the eyes of people has been used to get the eyes of viewers from the yellow main coverline to the blue, smaller coverlines. The use of other colors in the magazine are to guide viewers eyes around the magazine as a plain and simple colored magazine would not be able to get this much info across without it being a muddle of words.
