This is the first magazine i came across and took a liking too as part of my magazine cover research. Although it is not a music magazine it is a very heavy INDIE style magazine. As i also want my magazine to reflect INDIE style as well as music i looked at INDIE fashion magazines also. I particularly like the images and the way they portray the INDIE 'look' and 'style' very well.

I definitely want to use this kind of image for my magazine as i really like the way it's centre of the page and the main focus. It's really effective the way straight away this magazine lets you know what kind of style it is. This front cover is very heavily styled, and by having such a strong image on the front it really shows the audience what it's all about straight away.
Although I've noticed this magazine doesn't really follow the normal codes of conventions so i therefore need to research further into music magazines and take into account there layout as well.
