This is also a very simplistic magazine layout. I really like the simple layout as it gives it a polished look and that's exactly what I'm going for. The image is showing the well-known alternative band 'Bombay Bicycle Club'. The band is dressed in young and fashionable clothing which could influence readers to dress in similar clothing. The main focus is on the lead singer Jack Steadmen because as we can see he is the only member in the foreground and in focus. This definitely shows the importance of each band member.
The colour scheme on the front cover is very simple as well, this co-ordinates with the simple layout. Most magazines have a lot going on e.g. cover lines, advertisements etc. But this one is kept very straight forward. I'd like to give my magazine that sort of affect because I feel it looks classy. The greyish background and the dull typography makes the image stand out even more. This is good because 'Bombay Bicycle Club' don't have much colour to them anyways. The grey background and their skin tone almost match. This connotes with them blending into the background and giving it an even more alternative edge. As their clothes don't have much colour in them anyways this gives it more of a sharpness. Most music magazines would have a crisp photograph of the model, but in this case there is one band member in focus and it isn't the most crisp of photos.
The headline 'Bombay Bicycle Club' the word 'Bombay' is slightly slanted up. This could connote with them rising in the charts, but I think by slanting it it's adding fun and interest to the topic rather than just having it straight and boring. This connotes with the type of music they make because it's different and upbeat.
