Language - The contents page is less cluttered than the cover, with more toned-down colours, mostly white and yellow. In terms of layout, the main image takes up much less space than in other magazines analysed, without a paragraph giving more detail on it. Smaller pages of important, but not main, features of the magazine are displayed clearly in a square layout. The images are large enough to grab the reader's attention but allow room for the smaller contents and other images. This is unlike Kerrang's usual covers, which are cluttered.
Institution - Bauer Media
Ideology - This page uses calm colours and a clear layout to convey a more relaxed feeling than the cover analysed. However, t he images are still of metal bands like Lamb of God and Taste of Chaos, which is juxtaposed against the colour scheme and layout. This may have been done solely to make the page clear and easy to find certain features, rather than to convey a specific message.
Audience - This page targets Kerrang's usual audience, as the musicians featured are largely the same as the ones featured on its covers and inthe magazine in general.
Representation - This page represents the musicians accurately, as some of the images are of them playing at concerts, etc, rather than a publicity shot. The images of the musicians seem to have been used to reflect the types of music the play, such as Taste of Chaos being in a cluttered, chaotic image. Also the singer of Lamb of God with black hair and clothes to reflect his, and the band's, style.
