Biffy Clyro - Mountains

• Features the album art on the poster. The page in a magazine has different dimensions to a CD cover, so the art has been extended to fit
• Artist name and album title in block capitals, as well as the release date. The colour gradient goes from white to turquoise, getting darker with each line of text. 
• Text is central and starts over halfway down the page
• Website
• Record label logo

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Show Your Bones

• Artist name in the largest white font, takes up over half the page
• Album title written below in smaller text
• States that it's a "new album" and names a single off the album ("Gold Lion")
• OUT NOW as opposed to a release date
• Colourful background (the album art) which gives a good contrast to make the white text stand out and grab the attention of the reader

The Killers - Day & Age

• Artist name is the biggest text, album name written below in the centre of the page
• Text aligned down the centre of the page
• "Brand new album" in capitals
• States a featured single
• Record company logo
• Website
• Art is tweaked slightly from album cover artwork to fit a magazine format
