Kerrang. The pictures that they have used indicate that these are the best pages in the magazine and so the readers will be attracted to those particular pages.
The editor is shown above the largest picture on the page, and next to where it says "Contents" which would pull the target audience's eye toward this part and make them feel as though they are closer to whoever wrote it.
The largest photo is a close up of Craig Owens; being the focus of the page and perhaps will draw more girls in as he is a good looking man. The fact that you can see a close up of the tattoo on his neck may have connotations of danger and rebellion, which links to the colours used in the title and subtitles as the yellow and black connote danger and warning.
One of the subtitles saying "K Icons!" is suggestive of the reader being a regular buyer of Kerrang, therefore knowing the magazine well.
Mojo. The title of the magazine is the biggest font, making the reader focus on the page. The background of the contents page is quite busy, but is overlapped by the plain white background for the information of the contents, therefore contrasting backgrounds and pulling the target audience in.
Like with Kerrang, Mojo includes pictures of certain pages, suggesting that they are the best ones that they should read. The bands that they have included to put in the pictures are also different to each other, attracting a wider range of audience.
The list of artists who will be featured in this particular issue of Mojo is in the centre of the page with the subtitle in bold, to make clear what the issue will consist of and attract a fan of any of the artists listed.
