5. Main Image Masthead Pull quote Page Numbers This contents page consists of purely page numbers, a main image of the cover features, and small descriptions as to what you will expect to find in this magazine. So the contents page has stayed conventional.

6. This is a main double page spread article in Q magazine on the band Muse. As you can see the font and layout are conventional with simple colours as well. A handful of images have been used of the band, one of those images you can see is of the band performing live and the band to what it appears to be in the studio recording. Altogether this double page spread has stayed to the conventional values with a simple font and plain colours with a select few of images used.

10. Masthead Main Image Page numbers Advertisement Editors column This magazine features page numbers and a short paragraph from the editor explaining to the reader what they are to expect from this issue of NME. There is also an advertisement in the bottom right hand corner trying to sell NME on subscription to the reader. And again a masthead is included as well on the contents page. And again this contents page has stayed conventional.

11. This is the main double page spread featured in an NME magazine of the rapper Dizzie Rascal. As you can see there are 5 images of him and one main picture. The images used are of Dizzie at different stages, there is one of him on stage performing so we get to see the performing side of him, one holding an award so we know he must be a well known singer, one of him in his younger days before he made it big, one of him taken from the music video “Bonkers” so we get to see his crazy out going side and finally the main image of him where we see him getting up to no good. The background of the first page of this magazine has a house effect of graffiti style, which anchors in to one of the themes of this article. And also it must have been done on photo shop as well so if I wanted to use a graffiti style in my magazine I could do so. There is also what's known as a “stand first” which gives us a short introduction to the article usually underneath the masthead which you will find on nearly every magazine article. Also a pull quote has been used from the article.

14. Main image Pull quote Page numbers Issue number This contents page has stayed quite simple and plain, however it does feature a main image and pull quote of one of the main bands featured in this magazine and gives us page numbers and a short description of the features in this magazine. So this contents page has stayed conventional.

15. This article stays plain and simple, underneath the masthead there is a stand first introducing the article. There are 2 main images spread across 2 pages of the band as what it appears to be they are both pointing at the reader. I do like though how on each page it shows a different side to them such as on one page there is a pose of them looking serious whereas on the other page we get to see possibly they’re more outgoing side with pull quotes added by the side of each image.
