The main image dominates most of the page, only around a third is actually the main text.

The tittle is along the left side rather than at the top of the page. Against conventions.

Has a bio for each of the artist as it is a new, up and coming band (except the main singer who is already well known).

None of the artists are smiling, all in casual clothes and sitting on a dirty looking sofa, all associated with rock as it can be quite gloomy.

Drop capital at the beginning of one of the paragraphs, shows where it starts. The white background makes the artists really

stand out as they’re all in dark clothes. Also makes the profiles stand out as they are highlighted in bright red.

The main image dominates the entire first page, grey background brings attention to the artists features like his tattoos and his ear stretcher as you can see them clearly (both very common in the rock genre).

The main tittle takes up almost half of the second page as the quote from the artist is so large, key parts highlighted in purple.

Extra details at the top of the page, out the way so not included with that specific article. But still uses large red font to bring attention to it.

Certain parts of the text are highlighted (quotes from an interview) which sections out the article making it not look as much to read, also means you can just read the quotes on their own.

House style – they often make certain parts of the text massively bigger to really bring attention to it. Also the whole page is very dark mainly using black, grey and white, but important parts of the masthead are in purple, stands out massively.

Drop capital to start the article. Convention of any article.

The Tittle is in the bottom right corner rather than at the top of the article, against the convention of a tittle for an article. Also the font looks as if its been drawn on with a colouring pencil, appeal to a teenage audience.

Very large drop capital to start the article.

Quote from the artist displayed in a much larger font than the rest of the article, encourages the readers to read the interview.

The house style is that Rocksound like to stick to very plain colours (mainly black and white) and then use a very bright colour for the tittle/ masthead also they often make the artist/ band in the picture pull a face for the picture.

Extra details at the top of the page, out the way so not included with that specific article. But still uses large red font to bring attention to it.

House style – they often make certain parts of the text massively bigger to really bring attention to it. Also a lot of the page is black and white except parts in red that stands out. Also the main tittle has black spots all over it like it dirty, similar to the Kerrang masthead that looks shattered.

Lots of extra images in on the page to show them recording, singing and at a concert, show the reader they’ve been busy and are a popular band.

Has a list of their new songs, advertising for the band, will encourage people to buy the new album when it comes out.

The main tittle is very large taking up quite a large amount of the second page

House style – they often make certain parts of the text massively bigger to really bring attention to it. Also the whole page is very bright and coloured (like parts of yellow and red to highlight important information), matches his tattoos (colourful and random).

The layout is very random, tittle on a slant, almost like the image is placed on and then everything else is made to fit around it.
