Content page analysis

On the contents page there are many images. This has been done so that the reader can clearly see what features are going to appear on what page. This has been done to make it easier for the reader to go to the article they are looking for straight away.

The images on this contents page have been set out in a very specific manner. The main story in the magazine is the largest of the pictures and takes up one whole page. This has been done to bring emphasis and importance to the article, making it more eye-catching for the reader. The rest of the images are set out in a fairly neat and orderly fashion except two images which are slightly tilted. This was may have be done to show that the band are not conventional and they are different from other bands. This is backed up by the picture as it is a very odd picture.

It could be said that the design from the front cover has been continued through to this page as well. This is because the front cover had a very orderly and neat design and so does the content page. The front cover also uses size to bring emphasis to the more important stories so it could be seen that this will be similar to this the whole way through the magazine.

The colour scheme and design has also been continued through to the contents page as well. The red and white colour scheme has been continued and the same letters for the fonts has been used. Furthermore this simple and bold design brings more emphasis towards the articles rather than the design which suggest it is for a more educated reader as it seems that there is more confidence with the quality of their articles as they do not want to distract the reader.

There are many different sections in the contents page which make it easy to go to the section you want. This makes it easier for the reader to go to a specific part of the magazine. This means if they are only looking for something specific in the magazine without reading the whole magazine (E.g. the best songs at the moment) then they can go to this page straight away.

The logo of this magazine is in the top right hand corner of this page. The logo is a lot smaller on this page then it is on the first page which suggests they are trying to bring more emphasis on the stories on this page whereas the front cover they was more foucsed on advertising the magazine.
