Summary Comment: Overall an average magazine. The genre is slightly

confusing as it looks more like a home magazine rather than a music
one. Some photos have been cropped and edited well, whilst others are
slightly squashed or stretched like the ones on the DPS. Red has been a
consistent colour scheme throughout which is good. Not a bad attempt
at all.
