In the top third of the first page, there is a lot of negative space, and the bottom two thirds contain a large amount of very small text, set out in columns.
One column gutter is empty, but the other contains a thin black line.
The text begins with a particularly large drop cap that catches the viewer's attention and will make them curious as to what the word beginning with 'W' is, so they would continue reading.
The whole layout is very simple and clear, though the small sized abundance of writing may put people off reading the text.
The text has been written in a formal register and editorialised in a way that glorifies the band.
Few colours are used in this magazine, only black and white to keep it looking professional, with the additional colours coming from images only.
The fonts are clear and formal throughout.
On the opposite page, the each member of the band has been photographed individually, then all of the photos have been added together in a 2x2 grid.
The images are mostly dark colours with some brighter colours added by the members' clothing, making them the centre of visual interest. The colours are used so that the double page spread does not look dull or boring and people will want to read it.
The page number and magazine website is featured in a small font at the bottom outer corner of every page.
