Magazine colour analysis

Red is the stand out colour for this magazine, even it's logo is simply the title in white on a red box and it is one of the first things noticed about the cover because of it's vibrant colour. Red is very representative of different themes and ideas, for example danger. The colour may be being used for this, showing that this magazine is not for the weak or faint-hearted, this challenge of manliness only makes the magazine more encouraging to read so that readers can "prove themselves". Red is also a seductive colour, a common dress colour and also used regularly for lipstick. This promiscuousness  attracts the male target audience as an obvious thing that would attract them more than music is women. Finally this energetic and ambitious colour let's the reader know at first glance the excitement embedded into the pages of the magazine.
