Front Cover Criticisms

This magazine front cover is successful as the masthead is prominent and clearly presented as it is shown in large, bold, blocked red font. The image clearly stands out and is attractive as the background is clearly presented in LA as it is a bright blue background and palm trees. The puff line is successful as it used in a yellow circle which would be more eye catching to customers as it goes against the colour theme. The Arctic monkeys are presented as cool and attractive which will entice more customers.  However, I dislike the fact there are hardly any cover lines as the magazine has taken a gamble with putting faith into that readers will buy the magazine as it features the Arctic Monkeys due to them being so famous and not used cover lines. Also, I dislike the title of 'AM' as it covers the bodies of the band and is too spaced and blocked out and contradicts the magazine, as it does not go well with the rest of the magazine, it is pointless to use this and I personally would not use it.
