Sky line: The sky line goes above the masthead on the magazine and normally gives extra information about the issue and what’s inside.

Masthead: Masthead is an alternative word for the title of the magazine. The Kerrang logo on this issue is red which matches part of the text on the cover line.Exclusive: The magazine says they have an exclusive story on Fall Out Boy’s new album. This might attract consumers who are fans of the band.

Cover line: The main headline goes with the main image on the cover as Black Veil Brides are the band on the picture. They have used a quote and have not given very much information on the article so the reader can find out more about the main headline. This cover line tells you a lot about what the band have been doing, but they don’t give too much away that all of the information is on the front and you won’t need to read the inside, which may attract more people into buying it and wanting to find out more.

Drop Caps: Every word on the cover of this magazine is in capital letters. Bold, capital letters will attract the readers to different stories talking about on the cover.

Barcode: The barcode tells the readers the price of the magazine, the date and the issue number. The barcode also tells the employer how many magazines are left in the shop, therefore how many they can put out for customers to buy.

Puff: this magazine is offering you a chance to win some free tickets to a show. The puff is the promotion of a bands show; it gives the band the publicity of the show and will hopefully get more people involved and wanting to go see their show.

House style: the layout of this article is quite packed and doesn’t seem to fit a theme, things are placed anywhere, however it’s still easy to read everything on the actual page. The reason everything is so clear to read but still together is because of the bold and the well-used colours. The main ones are; yellow, red, white, with black outlines. These colours all work really well together, which makes the page seem better to read and to notice things more. The black outline brings out the text and the things that would have gotten lost behind everything else. The white background brings the picture out more, when a coloured one would have made it look unappealing because of the dark tones, the picture has. The font used makes the cover look smart and organized, even though it is not, the writing is clear because of how spacious it is and because of the dark colours used underneath it. A member of the band on the front covers up some of the title of the magazine; however they use a font which a lot of people can recognize now, and his head also doesn’t cover up a lot of it, but highlights the band as well. The small photos and text around the edges, tell you a lot about what’s going to be inside and although they come across as small, they are still big enough for you to read. Photos of the posters are displayed at the top so it will attract readers into buying it, because it may be one of the first things they see.

Issue number and cover date: kerrang has put this information at the top of the page, this is so it’s the center of attention and because it helps the reader know what issue they are actually reading and how old the magazine is. Especially for collectors it will help them keep up to date and so they can put their collection in the correct order.

Feature photo: kerrang for this article have used a different photo to what would be shown on the double paged article. I think because of this it allows people to get curious as to what they may get to read about , which could get more people into buying the magazine, if they the read the contents first. This photo was mentioned on the cover, which could be a reason as to why they put this here, or because they know a lot

Contents: At the top of the page as well it tells you what this page is actually called. The word ‘contents’ is shown in a black circle, which makes it easier to read the white writing especially because of the white background. The contents word, allows people to know what they will actually find on this page, making it easier for them to maneuver from page to page easier. Underneath it also shows a punch line that changes through the issues, this is simply for entertainment purposes.

House style: the main background colour is white, which is also like the front page; this color makes it easier to read any other colour of it. The main colours stick with the same theme as the cover and have used: yellow, red, white and black. The limited use of colours makes this page look smarter and not as busy as it could have done. The yellow and the red are quite bright colours; therefore stand out more against the black boxes and text. The page numbers are in red and against the black text makes it easier for the reader to know what pages they could go to. All the writing is in the same font which makes it more appealing rather than messy, however its still bold, which stands out more.

Sectioned stories: the stories are in sections which a lot of people will like because they can easily head to the page they want to know more about, if they are interested in one thing and not the others, also its makes the page look cleaner and more organized.

Headline - they have used the term ‘ahoy’ in their headline because of the picture underneath taken from one of the concerts. This makes it more humorous and clever. They’ve underlined the word ’ahoy’ and ‘new’ which makes you want to read on because it’s not telling you an awful lot but leaves you wondering what could be new about the band it doesn’t directly say what the article about but will attract the reader more.. These two words are also in white, when the bands names are in yellow, this makes the title stand out. The title is rather bold but is the center therefore it will be the first thing the reader says.

Features - This double page spread includes an image of the album cover of the upcoming album and a quote from the bands guitarist, Pete Wentz, telling the reader the album is closer than they’d expect. The text is in bold capitals which would draw the reader’s eye straight to it, encouraging them to read the article.

House Style - The colour scheme used on this double page spread is yellow and white for the title and the exclusive subtitle. This makes the text and the main image separately stand out. The article itself has a different colour scheme as the main colours used in it are black, white and red. The white is used as the background with black text. The red pieces of text are the bits that stand out that attract the reader.
