  • 'YOU ME AT SIX' colour matches house style colour
  • White space filled
  • Faces of band over title so attention is drawn to who is on the cover
  • Puffs with information of what magazine contains
  • Banner across top and bottom with information of what magazine contains, also matches house style
  • Lead singer in centre of image (Most important)
  • Largest writing on page stating which band is the main feature (Draws attention)
  • Free-bees stated on cover
  • The clothes that the band are wearing all match each other colour wise


  • 'ARCTIC MONKEYS' text in the middle of the page matches the house style, and is bold so can be easily seen and catches the eye
  • There is no white space on the page
  • Faces of band at the top of the page, large so can be easily seen and recognised
  • Faces and title at the top, large, so that when on the shelf in the shop, it can be seen over the other magazines
  • Text at bottom and side of page with information about the features in the magazine, they also match the house style, and all match in fonts
  • Lead singer in center of image, because he will be the most recognisable face
  • The band are wearing plain clothing (all similar colours that match the house style) so that it doesn't draw the attention away from the faces and text
  • The logo has changed from it's original red, to match the house style
  • Price of magazine very small at the bottom so that it is not noticeable
