The Last Shadow Puppets’ faces are visible ‘above the fold’. Turner and Kane are represented as brooding geniuses and the image positioning ensures that their faces are iconic.

The image ‘bleeds’ to the edge of the page. In this instance, the connotation could be that their skill/talent cannot be controlled; it cannot be defined within a single page.

The text is a ‘callout’ – it is sensational and shocking. It intrigues the reader and acts as a tease to reading the full article.

These column inch coverlines entice readers to the magazine’s articles. The red text connotes passion and danger; ‘Tom Clarke VS Faris Rotter is designed to sound like a battle and the text colour reinforces this. The black text elaborates on the story further and is less attention-grabbing. It is witty and raises new issues.

The magazine heading is in a fixed location. Its colour and font remains the same from issue to issue, helping to develop brand identity.

The Last Shadow Puppets’ ‘first major interview’ is a scoop and a hook to attract potential buyers. The text is framed as a sidebar and grounds the images above.

This should act as a guide for your own magazine analysis.
