Codes and Conventions Analysis

This is a Kerrang magazine cover analysed with a lot of detailed and why its effective. I like this cover as its really punchy and its really outgoing and it grabs you attention really fast. The colours seem random and all over the place however they all play their part in the colour scheme and complement each other very successfully.
I have analysed it to help me create my music magazine cover and also to help me get ideas about what I want on my cover.
