Contents Page Analysis 2

There is only one image used on this contents page and that is a large mid-shot image of Eminem. This image is done to carry on from the image used on the front cover which also shows Eminem. This has been done to show that he is the main feature of the magazine and by putting a large image of him on the contents page it is showing that such a big name has an article in their magazine and is used to absorb the reader and persuade them to buy the magazine.

The image as been constructed in such a way that it cannot be ignored. This is done by the image been spread out over two pages and by the designer not putting any other images on the content page. It is also been done as to make the text clear and easy to navigate through the magazine.

This image supports the theme of the front cover. This is done by the same person (Eminem) being on the front page and the contents page. Furthermore the background of the front cover of this magazine was very dark and gloomy and this is also the case on the content page.

The text on the contents page is also very similar to that on the front cover. The colour scheme of the font is the same were the main pints and headlines are in yellow to bring emphasis and attention to them and white text underneath the headlines to make it clearer to read with the dark background.

The sections of the magazine have been laid out in a very neat specific way. The headlines on the contents page have been coloured as yellow to make them noticeable and the features underneath are white. Also the sections have been set out in chronological order on the page to show what sections come first. The numbers have been printed at the right of each section to show the reader where they are going to be.

The section in the magazine all show that the magazine is completely about rap/hip-hop music. This is because the headlines of the sections all include artists from this genre or is commenting on something about this genre.
