Like with NME, the other coverline from the front cover becomes he main focal point; e.g. Marilyn Manson. A lebel gives the name of the artist and the page number of the article.
There is a title to indicate contents, which is winthin the house style as it uses the same font as the front cover. The title also shows the date and the issue number.
Two of the bands featured in the bottom/top coverlines are also featured with an image in the contents page, next to Manson.
The other pages are featured beneath subtitles using the KERRANG! font and contents 'yellow' contents theme (follows house style).
Stories that are featured on the front cover are idictaed by a converse-style sumbol saying 'cover story'. I like this idea, and it emphasizes the articles people bought the magazine for, so they don't have to search.
The captions underneath the bold titles use a lot of personal pronouns e.g. 'you'll be mad to miss this!' The 'mad' and 'miss' is also alliteration. Superlatives like 'finest', 'biggest' and 'newest' are used too. These languages devices are used to effect to draw in the reader, but the vocabulary is simple, which shows that this is produced for a wider demographic of music lovers that don't neccessarily have to be very educated. It shows that this is a mass-marketing magazine for everyone, of any age (teen plus) and ability.
There is also an advertisment for a magazine subcription, which was also on the NME magazine.
