More coverlines on the right of the page this also follows the rule of thirds as the main coverline is on the left but there is still others on the right of the page.

The colour scheme is simple and has a limited colour pad, this suggests that the audience is perhaps more mature so therefore doesn’t need bright colours for eye candy.

The main image doesn’t take up that much space as maybe a more mature audience will appreciate more writing that pictures on the cover.

The masthead of the magazine is used again at the top of the page. This is the iconic logo and is used so that readers can see consistency in the magazine. The masthead is big and bold and stands out from the background.

The main image takes up the whole of the contents but has things written on it, this is effective because it is a single striking image. The picture taking up so much space shows that this will be relied on to draw readers and an audience.

There is one big main image which takes up a whole page on the side of this article, using a page shows its importance to the magazine and shows that it is important that this attracts readers.

This also shows its importance as a whole double page spread is used to cover one story.

Using one single striking image is effective for the magazine as all the attention is put onto the image and the size of this image will attract a lot of readers in to read this particular story.

This double spread has everything that is normally there for example a drop cap, by-line, standfirst and caption. But also has a very big headline which draws a lot of attention being so big and bold

The headline is white on a black background this stands out very well also it is in a good font because it is splattered about and contains the word death so this font connotes blood.
