Layout

This contents page was very interestingon the way it had been layed out. The main image covers the whole page, just like a cover page and the contents is pasted over the image.

The title of the page "Main Features" to  is bold and a background colour is red to emphasise the title of the contents page. 

The text is displayed at the bottom of the magazine in a list half on the right side and half on the left side. This shows more of the image and it seems that there isn't that much text on the page.

Image

The Image coveres the whole page and is the main feature and shows the main story of the magazine. It is also a medium shot image making the reader more focused on the facial expression and colours of the image more. There is a lot of mise en scene used such as the chained jewellery showing how rock music is of people displaying their emotions because they feel they are chained up. 

His hair covers part of his face and his smirking slightly giving off the "cocky" rock star personality, and that they are exposing themselves through their music. the background of the image is light so the black stands out more.

Language

The language used is very informal, and speech like. It connects with the audience more as it is like the magazine is talking to them with their own way of speech, like they are being talked to directly. 

The tone of the magazine is very violent and informal, showing the way rock music is portrayed as excessive and free for example "Slayer".

Genre

This shows the genre by the lighting and he colours used. it also shows the genre by the font of the text and how the text has been written and the way the text is written. The language used is very violent and not limited on what is said, as rock music is about expressing feelings and emotions and to be free.
