The front cover layout and the contents page layout link by displaying the bands iconic characters on both pages; the contents includes photo's which link to the cover headings as well as highlighting the main stories by displaying the page numbers in bold; the house colour of red, black and white consist through out the magazine and lastly, the results from the pugs are shown on the contents revealing the secrets to the reader once purchased.
The features shown on the contents include band icons and background stories, questionable photo's which'll encourage the reader to continue and exciting, tense stories hoping to lure the reader.
The main article appears to dominate the contents page with the bands images, this is exciting towards fans to view and read.
The type of language used within the main artical involves quick quotes and phrases, rhytorical questions, ecouraging words such as 'PLUS' or 'EXCLUSIVE' which creates an exciting and fulfilling atmostphere for the readers and fans.The tone of the magazine is exciting, encouraging and loud; this creates a special bond between the magazine and the audience, as if the infomation they are about to discover is very reserved yet gripping. The style involved is bold and engaging; by doing this develops a provoking characteristic to the magazine for the quotes and large text makes the magazine seem unreserved.The magazine regesters to an informal setting and lacks in direct address such as 'you' and 'we'.
The cover and contents reflect one another through the side headings, photo's of promoted bands, the snap shot of the front cover which continues to promote the main artical and the simular fonts and layout of images as squares keeps to the magazine theme. However, the house colours are not consistant between the contents and front cover, also the donomant images differ between the two pages.
The features in the contents page involve updates on tours, new albums and drama within the bands.
The main article in not very donomant on the contents page, it includes images of other various articles and bands however the cover story is minimal.

The language used within the main article involves direct address such as 'your', encouraging words like 'FAVOURITE' and 'EXCLUSIVE', straight forward titles of bands and adverts promoting music to the viewer and the tone is rather informal which works well with the target audience.
The layouts of the cover and contents page link well because of the colour scheme of red, black and white, the photo's of iconic bands shown on the contents link with side cover lines and the logo of the magazine is displayed on both pages trademarking it's individual layout.
The typical feature stories within this magazine involve drama within bands, reviews, features from celebrities and adverts announcing other issues and competitions within the magazine.
The main artical appears on the contence page as a large photo with a bold title and a clear font discription. Other side stories are within the contence yet the main story dominates the page.
The type of language used in the main artical is infomal with quotes from celebraties, abreviations, rhytorical questions and encouraging yet lacks in dirct address such as 'you' or 'your'.
After analysising these magazines, it provided me with a clearer understanding of how I should lay out my own magazine. I like the colour scheme of red, black and white which is very consistant in some of these magazines as well as the informal, snappy words and phrases used within the front cover and contents.
