Rock Sound cover August 2009
The main colour on this cover is blue. This is shown in the colour of the main model's t-shirt, the mast head and the background colour of the minor features. The use of the same colour throughout the front cover shows a theme of continuity and gives the cover a sense of togetherness. There are two accent colours, yellow and red. The yellow is used as it is bright nd will draw people's attention to it. For example, the phrases 'the only interview' and 'world exclusive' are in yellow. These things stand out to make people realise that this is the only place they can read the interviews, making people feel the need to buy it and read it so they are in the know and know wha'ts going on with these two bands. And the second accent colour, red is also carried throughout the cover. It is shown in the female on the bottom right corner's shirt and then more at the topf of the cover. By using this colour at the top and at the bottom, it balances out the colours, making sure there sin't too much of one and not enough of the other.
The models on the front cover are Pete Wentz, left, and Mark Hoppus, right. The bands that they are in both have large followings. This means that by having two people from two famous bands that both of their fans would be likely to buy the magazine. Also, Blink 182 were most famous in the late 90s early 2000s, whereas Fall Out Boy were more mid-late 2000s, meaning that it isn't the norm that they're together. It will make people curios and want to know why they're on there togeteher.
Mark Hoppus, right, is positioned slightly closer to the camera because of his band. At the time that this issue of the magazine was published, his band was making a comeback which was highly anticipated.The focus has been placed on him, so more people will be attracted to the magazine. Andm, the fact that Pete Wentz, right, is there, offers an alternative to those who do not know/like the other person on the cover.
