Rock Sound - MCR

The bold, capitalised masthead is used to attract the customers eye. The word ‘ROCK’ suggests, obviously, that this magazine is relative to the rock genre. The header informs us that the magazine the magazine includes a ‘FREE CD’ this technique gives the customer another reason to purchase this magazine, investing in more buyers. The main image of the group ,my chemical romance’ is taken from a low angle, or a worm’s eye view. This effect makes the group look dominant, displaying them as an idol, or someone to literally look up to. The way in which the band has chosen to display their name is quite peculiar. The use of the ‘graffiti/scribble’ type font gives a rebellious attitude to them; suggesting their style of music is hard or even punk rock. The colour scheme of green, white and a less distinctive black suggests, again, the genre of music. In this case, punk. The use of these colours almost makes the front cover look like a front cover to a horror film of some sort.
