My front cover is similar to 247 as it is a simplistic design that is not cluttered by a lot of cover lines, however 247's main image has a lot of effects applied to it whereas my image does not, my main image also uses 3 members of the band not just the guitarist, I challenged a lot of 247's conventions such as the colour scheme, 247 uses black and a blue/green, I opted to use a similar blue/green for part of my cover as I felt like it made the magazine seem more regional. But I used a lot of red and some white on my front cover so that the colours stood out against competitors whilst also sticking to genre conventions.
This particular issue of 247 was free however its usual price is £3.85, my magazines price will be £3.99, which I feel is a fair price and will attract some people to the magazine.
My main image is straight on and directly addresses the audience however 247's main image is a low angle shot that does not address the reader at all, I feel mine will be more effective as direct address may make the audience feel like they want to buy it more because of the.
