The image shown is a medium close of up of a single artist and against a plain background, which is also one of the colors found in the house style of the magazine, which for this issue is light blue, red and white, this simplistic house style is effective because of it's use of complimenting/contrasting colors and how they connote a more casual and relaxed style, which suits the magazine. The color black is also used sparingly on smaller bits of text, but is mostly to show a connection to subheadings as opposed to repeater them as their own subheadings. All fonts on the page are sans-serif, this is because of the informal more approachable effect that they give off. Most of the fonts appear italic and fluctuate between bold and not on each line, this is to separate each line from the ones next to it, it also gives off a slightly independent look, that appeals to readers of an indie rock magazine, as it fits the themes of the music genre. The main cover line in this issue, uses a font that makes it look like it's hand written, this is effective as it connotes, the personal touch of the artist which represents the article it is about. It also reinforces the idea of this magazine opposing the normal format and being made a lot more casually.
