The document describes the covers of three music magazines - Q Magazine, Billboard, and Kerrang!. Q Magazine features an image of Arctic Monkeys singer Alex Turner with lyrics in the background. The cover lines promote an article about getting inside Alex Turner's head. Billboard features an image of Lady Gaga and promotes an article about how she writes pop hits. Kerrang! features an image of an unnamed band covering the magazine title, promoting them as rising rock stars of 2011. The magazines differ in price, with Q Magazine being the most expensive due to its more sophisticated indie style.
