The masthead ‘Kerrang’ will always be one of the biggest texts on the magazine, and will normally always be on the top as it is here.

Then the bands name, ‘Biffy Clyro’ will be next in line for the biggest font, to catch peoples attention and also so they know who the main article is about, also to draw people in who like the band.

The use of free poster also draws people in, and they’ve made it a bigger font on the ‘free’ to make it clear and catch peoples eyes

There will also be a main picture, which will be centred most of the times and relevant to the band that is in the main article

Inclusion of other artists/bands is used so it attracts a wider audience too.

The masthead will always be the biggest, most noticeable thing on the page, and for ‘Q’ it will always be in the left corner.

The main band will be the biggest font size on the page normally, so it’s clear who the main article is about and attracts more people

The main band will also have a picture of them or the main singer centred in the page.

There will normally be a phrase too on the top of the page, and in this case it’s ‘the UK’s biggest music magazine’ which will be used to attract customers

Other stories will also be headlined on the main cover too, often with a picture like this time but sometimes without.

More headlines will also be included on the cover, often in a list to draw a wider range of audience in.
