Here is a double page spread from Billboard magazine:

• Following the same type of layout as Kerrang's double page spread, Billboard's has the A4 page for a picture of the artist featured in the story on the opposing A4 page
• Also following the same layout the heading for this story is big and bold with a basic font
• Also sticks to the house style of Billboard magazine as it has the basic colour (black, white, grey) then has the odd splash of colour to the page (e.g. blue, yellow, green, red-likewise in the main title on the front cover)
• The font the story is in is quite small but is a basic and easy to read with sub-headings in the same font but made bold

• The smaller text telling the story is of two colours, the subheadings being bolder and white and the main text being black

Here is the front cover of a Kerrang Magazine:

Kerrang! is a UK-based magazine devoted to rock music published by Bauer Media Group. It was first published on 6 June 1981 as a one-off supplement in the Sounds newspaper. Named after the onomatopoeic word that derives from the sound made when playing a power chore on an electric guitar, Kerrang! was initially devoted to the New Wave of British Heavy Metal and the rise of hard rock acts. In the early 2000s it became the best-selling British music newspaper.

• Kerrang has more of a busier front page compared to the two other magazines and this fits with its genre of 'rock'
• This front cover has a two red banners, one at the top and one at the bottom both with bold white writting
• There is also a white banner underneathe the title which draws attention to the bold black title of the magazine
• The main feature of this magazine is 'Biffy Clyro' the main picture on the front cover is him and his name is written across the middle of the magazine
• The colours on this front cover are black, white and red. These three colours are working well together as the white wrtitting is standing out becuase it is contrasting with the black and red
• There is lots of advertising on the front of this magazine more so than insights to what is inside like the other magazines
• At the top on the red banner there is an advert advertising a 'Download Ticket'
• Also there are adverts for 'FREE' posters within the magazine
