The medium close up shot of the lead singer from the popular rock band Foo Fighters is represented in a cool and rock like way, he has long hair and a beard which is stereotypical of most rock artists and the facial expression is showing he is posed but he has chosen to grit his teeth and raise his eyebrow which makes him look cool and individual like his music. The masthead is red and bold with a white outline to make the magazine eye catching, it is also placed at the top of the page therefore it can be seen in newspaper and magazine racks in shops and librarys etc.
