The master head on both copies are situated at the top of the page.
Typography used in every copy of Kerrang are the same; a bold cracked font which connotates with the action of smashing a symbol which would then make the sound "Kerrang".
Main image used differs on each issue and varies in different shot angles to show the artist as a representation of their music. Also, it give the reader insight to the nature of what type of article that it will be. The top right copy shows a mid - shot of lead singer Hayley Williams in a attractive pose which will appeal to her fan base, Kerrangs fan base, represents her genre of music and also sets the scene of what type of article will be used in the magazine. The top right copy shows a close up shot of lead singer Charlie Simpson, which again shows off his best features and represents the seriousness of his music, whilst also appealing both his fans and fans of the magazine.
On both issues the bar code and price is placed at the bottom right of the cover. The date is not displayed on the front cover, but I know myself being a reader of the magazine, the date is usually placed on the stem of the magazine, unless it is a special edition which relates to an important date.
The colour scheme on both are a mis between Black, White and Yellow. These specific colours are now apart of what makes Kerrange the magazine it is today and they have stuck with this colour scheme for a long time, whilst also using it on there music channel. Kerrang, now, can be defined by these colours.
The title of the main headline is place either on top of the image or just to the side of the image, depending on each artist. The simplistic font makes it very clear for readers, though on occasions the bands logo shall be used. Other titles are placed on the left hand side of the cover with smaller images along side them. They are placed in what looks like an organised jumble, which appeals for readers of this type of music magazine.
All issues have a free poster. The buzz word "free" is used to entise the readers to buy the magazine and shows the position of the magazine as higher to ones which refrains from free items.
