FRONT COVER
The reason I chose this as my front cover is because it is the most conventional and I think it's the most appealing to teenagers/young adults because of the colour scheme. Plus it stands out more than the others and when I had feedback from my peers two of them said it looks "really professional", so that made me choose this one because also it is my favorite. I chose to do the title like that because they are contrasting colours and the font was used because its like hard rock gets broken so it is eroded and I thought it suited the cover more than others. Also the 'TOP 50 ROCKERS' title has a white border that is quite thick and is very eye attracting which I thought was good. I used the colours because they are basic and they are most associated with rock. I placed the advertisements for the competitions on the side because the background was pale and cream and using black, bold writing meant that they would stand out.
CONTENTS
The reason I chose this as my final contents page is because it goes well with the front cover and is kept in with the same colour scheme, where as all the others weren't. I have also kept it simple so it’s not all compact and concentrated with pictures. The fonts are the same and consistent. Where as before for my contents I was using the Linkin Park font off dafont.com but I changed it to match in with the front cover. I separated the features and extras because the features are the main parts and the extras are for competitions and posters, not actually articles. Behind the features and extras I added a guitar and faded it into the background, I did this because it added more effect to page but I made it so you could still read the writing. I only chose to use two pictures because I thought it looked better.
DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD
The reason why I chose this as my final double page spread is because it stood out the most to me and I thought it was the best one. It was hard to chose between them all because I liked some styles on the others but when it got put together it didn't work. I think the colour black works best with the article of Guitar Hero so it suites it more.

I really like the front cover, as the layout and designs suit the genre and target audience. I like the use of different size fonts and colours to emphasise certain points. I also think your contetns page is rather impressive and catches the eye straightaway. As for the double page spread I like who you have used your own images for the background and how everything stands out. I also think the corner with win in it would attract more attention than if it wasn't there. Overall very good =].
