The first thing you notice when looking at the cover page is the main image, the black in the main image is a much bolder colour than the subtle pink used in the background so its stands out. The main image also covers some of the mast head which is interesting as most magazines sell due to the brand name. I like how the three colour rule has been used and so the cover page doesn't seem to overpowering or cluttered.

The pages have been numbered in higher numbers (eg 418, 422) so it appears there are lots of pages and therefore you are getting more for your money. It looks like the contents page has been placed on top of a collage of different images, so although it makes the contents page more interesting and conveys what is inside the magazine it doesn't overpower the information on the contents page.

The hot pink colour of the text on the sell lines really 'pops out' against the neutral colours used on the rest of the cover page, this draws the eye to the magazine which will sell. I like how the sell lines have been positioned, they are framing the main image instead of covering it, this prevents the cover page looking to cluttered.

There has only been one imaged used on the contents page, i think this is good as it doesn't overpower the text. Banners have been used to arrange the different sections in the magazine so it is easier for the reader to see what the magazine is offering.
