Both magazine contents pages have large images on the right side to attract readers to the main articles. They also have simple designs with minimal text to describe the magazine contents and engage readers. While one magazine clearly labels the issue number, the other only includes the issue reference in smaller text next to the date. The target audiences are similar, with one potentially appealing more to indie fans and young adults due to darker fashion imagery. The images of the featured artists also differ significantly between an extreme close-up of a screaming woman and a long shot of a confident band on a mountain.

1. Contents Page comparison
Both contents pages are similar in certain ways for example
the layout on each contents page such as on the right hand
side they both have large images to attract the reader as this
usuallyshows who the main article is going to be about. They
are also eye catching and makes the contents page look fuller
and more interesting instead of just seeing text as this would
dis engage the reader. The design balanceon both magazines
is similar as it is quite simple as you have main images and
little text about what the magazine consists off and small
amountsof informationabout this. Although one of the
differences is that the magazine of Lana Del Rey shows the
issue number clearly in the centre at the top of the page,
which makes it clear if the articles are in date where as the
magazine of the courteeners does contain this information
althoughit isn’t as clearas its in smaller text next to the date
and doesn’t exactly show the words ‘issue’ which to some
readers may be unclear. The target audiencefor each
magazine is similarbut for the courteeners the target
audiencewould be more for indiefans and young adultsas
their fashion sense seems quite dark and simplistic where as
Lana Del Rey may also attract young adultsbecause of the
way she has been presented as she looks like she has been
hurt or injuredwith the blood drippingdown her face. The
imagery is very different as Lana Del Rey has been taken at a
extreme close up with her eyes directly staring at the camera
to draw us in to buy the magazine as she looks like she is
screaming out for help where as the courteeners photograph
has been taken at a long shot as you can clearly see each
member of the band looking like they are stood confidently

2. on a mountainthis could suggest that they are above every
other band at the moment and are becoming the most
successful. The guttenberg principlefor each magazine are
similaras they both consist of the title being in the optical
area therefore you are drawn to this straight away
