‘Arctic Monkeys’ is in the biggest font implying this is the main story.

Alex turner the lead singer is at the front which is who most people are interested in.

The mast head is cut behind Alex Turners head to make the other band members look further behind him.

All of the stories are on the front in different fonts but well organised in a side margin.

The text is set to three different colours, red, white and black.

Text is organised so it isn’t over anyone’s face.

All four members are looking at the camera.
