The colours are very bold and masculine to stand out which suggests the target audience is young males. The colours have been used in the boxes which contain the texts. These boxes are either black or red to dominate over the background which is violet or white- the least prominant colours. The title of what the page summarises is black. The background of both pages is two different colours; white and grey to distinguish the two. The page with the grey background has a coloured image whereas the page with the white background has a black and white image, this balances out the double page spread. In addition the text has been written in columns and there are margins along the sides and the top and bottom, these aspects are common in magazines. The beginning letter in on each page is typed in a different font compared to the rest of the text so the page doesn't look dull or too compact and full of text. In addition the images are positioned on the bottom of the pages squared in by the text to create edgyness and to look unique. The fonts used are very clear and there are few fonts used. In the main text there is a mixture of regular and bold fonts used; the bold font is used for the artists names so the reader can scan the page and see that all the artists contained in the magazine and the bold is used because the artists names are considered more important. Between the two columns is text written in bold orange font because it relates to the image used so the reader can link the two. Along the right-hand side are images of the CDs which have been mentioned in the text; this is a way of advertising what the CD covers look like in order for the readers to buy them. Also 'Mikey Mike's UK Top Ten' is in a black box to separate it from the original text. Similarly the layout on both double page spreads are the same; image at the bottom and text at the top.
