This is my favourite of the magazine covers I am looking at because of the colour scheme. The main image is in black and white, which wouldn't work as well for a less known band. Because Green Day are known on a world-wide scale, it doesn't take a lot of colour to notice them. There is still some colour on the magazine because it needs to stand out from the others on a shelf, so the striking pink is very well placed on the abbreviated masthead. I do like the way the title is abbreviated and slightly behind the image because it reinforces the brand. We are expected to already know what this magazine is called.
I also like that there is no background to this image. The plain white behind the band emphasises their importance over the magazine brand.
Another thing I find attractive on the cover that I would like to have on my own magazine is the main sell-line's relevance to the band. It is not just about the band, it relates on a deeper lever. The backwards E in 'Green' reinforces the bands punk genre, as well as the blocked out swearing in the sub-head.
