In my opinion in really like this magazine it has so many
unique qualities involved in just the front cover. For starters the colour
scheme, now I would never put them colours together put somehow on here they
work on this cover I mean the way are presented in this type of slashed painted
way really reveals the creativity involved. Now the title that is still in
convention with other magazines that are in mainstream however, the rest of the
magazine is so not in convention. The main image is a banana like what the hell
does that have to do with music it's so ridiculous it's funny. Also the barcode
is just stamped straight in the middle of the main image like that's their main
draw to the magazine, I love it.Now they have used sexual references to engage
there readers like most magazine does as there is a pair of lips surrounding
the banana at the bottom again engaging readers through this weirdly popular way.
They have the bit about what the magazines includes at the bottom left hand comer
with is all clumped together which is why I think this magazine works and it's
very well done according to my standards, I would defiantly buy this magazine
in a shop.

Now this magazine is just so basic I also love it.Now this
magazine was designed in the 70's therefore computers weren’t really popular or
up to the standard it would require to even create a front cover that doesn't
look like it's been written. However they wanted a magazine about music around
that time so that's what they did it obvious that some hand drew it and wrote
it.so they got someone to right the cover and then they scanned it to make the
front cover for their hundreds of magazine. Now they down fall that I have is
there is no colour fair enough the technology wasn't there but I think they had
colouring pencils back in the old days didn’t they. Although I do like there
wonky hand writing and the different people hand writing they used really help
make the magazine personal which I guess is what they wanted as they are not
selling them thousands at a time. You see I can't see a barcode and i know they
had them which mean this magazine was only meant for the local people because
otherwise you would see some type of manufacture stamp or something or that
presents a trademark. They haven’t even been able to draw there division line
straight but overall in some sort of weird way I long for this magazine to come
to light again as it's just so unique and personal.
