To start with the colours of the large title have been changed to silver to mark the occasion with the large '25th Anniversary' graphic centred on the page being the main focus point and to show its going to be special to whats inside. The contrast of silver and black make it striking and clear to the theme of the issue, that would also stand out to existing readers as to its difference from the normal issues being its key selling point on this issue that even made me buy it.

The fact that images and the usual text around the page have been removed from the normal design of brightness and businesses to accommodate the graphic, make it even more special and clear with its monochromatic look enforcing what the magazine are trying to say, and hopefully draw in new customers.

However, with the loss or drum kit images that sell what the magazine is about the title 'The UK's Best-Selling Drum Magazine' keep the aim of what the magazine is about still there.
