1) They have an image that really stands out from the page. They make it stand out further by putting it against a light background and cutting it out and placing it partially over text or the logo of the magazine. This is especially true with the Kerrang magazine. The main picture is covering up half of the logo, yet you still recognize that it is Kerrang. This is because it is a well established institution which people have heard of, so as long as you can see part of the logo, people will know it is that magazine.
2) Both of the magazines, as well as many others I have looked at have at least one banner running across the top or the bottom. The banner gives the reader extra information about what is inside the magazine such as posters, reviews and competitions. It also may have a slogan on it.
3) Both of the magazines have similar positioning of the logo. They are both at the top of the magazine front cover, and usually on the left hand side. This is a typical convention of a magazine front cover mainly because it is easier to find the magazine in a shop if they are stacked in the usual way.
4) The magazine covers have a main title, which is always related to the main image. This is usually short and brief, and gives you a good indication to what the rest of that particular magazine article is about. With the title, there is nearly always a subtitle, which basically gives you extra information about that story.
5) There are also a number of other stories 'scattered' around the page, along with relevant pictures and subtitles.
6) Also, I have noticed that all of these magazines have a particular colour scheme, which helps the magazine look better visually.
