Final Front Cover

This is my final magazine cover. I feel that it has improved since the first draft. It adopts conventions of the music magazines I have been looking at, and looks more professional and simpler than the first.

I used the title HAMMETT as a legendary band in this music genre is Metallica, and their guitairist Kirk Hammett will be known and respected by people who enjoy this kind of music. The auience will only know what it means if they know this kind of music. Then they may feel like this magazine is for them because they know.
The photograph shows, from a first glance, moody teenagers. Teenagers will relate to these people hopefully, and the older readers will be attracted to the names of older bands such as Metallica and Them Crooked Vultures, a band which features the bassist of Led Zepellin, John Paul Jones.
