House Style: Rocksound magazine's front covers are known to look cluttered and a bit 'all over the place'. For this issue, the colour scheme is very much grey and white. The 'broken' writing shows the destructive and slightly scary side of the bands that are featured in this issue.



The menacing and slightly threatening looks on the men's faces show what kind of music they create and their expressions allow their personality to come through.



I would consider Rocksound a serious competitor of my magazine because it is very similar to the magazine I want to create. It focuses very much on promoting new bands as well as covering stories about famous bands.
