The first thing you notice on this front cover is the main image. This image has a unique theme to it as on other magazines the cover star would be smiling in a nice outfit acting completely normal, where as this one shows the different sides to the artist. The tiara and pretty dress make it look like she is good and acts ‘princess like’ where as the blood shows she has her flaws like anyone else. That she is wounded inside and has her secretes. The next thing you would notice would be the magazines logo because it is right next to her head in bright red. This is big because the person who sets out the magazine wants the reader to see that that type of magazine is a music magazine they also want the reader to see what the magazine is called before they buy it so if they like it they will want to buy the next issue. The cover stars name is the next thing you notice which also links into the good girl theme because it’s pink although the underlining and font makes you think it is more of a punkish theme. The colours of the magazine vary from pink to red to yellow to black to white. This would suggest a usual pattern throughout the magazine of these colours. Using these colours isn’t enough to make the magazine look too colourful but also isn’t to less that the magazine looks dull and boring. The left page is dark with white lights covering part of her face showing she is hiding behind something good and bright while she has a pained face in the back of the picture with her sharp nails near her neck. To go with the colours this shows she has dark thoughts behind her goodness. The big S on the right page takes up more than half of the page, which hides behind the writing, which shows they theme of hiding behind something.

The first thing you see on this page is the front cover star in the same photo shoot as the front page it still shows the blood on her head showing that that page will show the good and the bad side of her. There are smaller pictures for different articles that aren’t as big as the main article. The other articles are written in a list down the side which could show they are the least important articles.
