I have chosen to compare my front cover with one of "Big Cheese" that features the band "Bring Me The Horizon".
The image I have taken uses the forms and conventions of real rock magazines because "Andrew" and the central guy, "Oliver Sykes" from "Big Cheese" who have very similar expressions. They have the same facial expressions which is aggressive in style which looks like they are screaming. Also they both have the same styled hair where their fringe is long enough to almost cover their eyes. In addition to this they are wearing very similar clothing the only difference being "Andrew's" shirt has a lower cut to it. Both of these images were taken in a studio, however "Big Cheese" has chosen to edited the background and add a flame effect to the central guy.
Overall I think these images represent a young stereotypical social group that you would find linked to real rock magazines. They are average looking males who don't have a outlandish appearance.
