The Masthead is again the conventional piece of the magazine; it features throughout each edition, with the occasional colour change. The use of red against the grey background allows it to stand out bold with a shadow effect; being highlighted in a darker red. Also the skyline is there to show what is in the issue, each caption separated with a line, to show different information.
The use of red throughout the front cover is there to highlight the rock elements of the magazine; “Revolution Rock!” in particular is in red to show the theme of the issue, with 'The Clash' as its lead article. Appealing to a mid adult male looking for classic yet cult music information.
The Main Image suggests attitude and rebellion, with the cigarette behind the ear to show a tough guy appeal; as well as the facial expressions to show a rough attitude with slight boredom; this is also shown through the arms folded. This can appeal to a middle aged male as it is something that most men are not and something that most men wish they could do. Rebel.
On the other hand there is no left third, the main information is shown on the right of the front cover, alternating in colours to make each set of information stand out and be different.
