Analysis of Contents Page


The first contents page i am going to analyse is this Kerrang magazine.
This page is clear and easy to follow and the different sections of the magazine are highlighted to guide the reader. Most of the listings are located at the right handside of the magazine.
However, in my opinion the number of images makes the magazine look over crowded.
The colour scheme of this contents page is black, mustard and white. Basing the writing on a white background helps the writing stand out better and also so the page does not look dark.
The images used on this page are all related to a certain story. Allowing the audience/reader a glimpse of a picture will make them want to see more of the story.
There is one large picture which is the headline story, surrounding this is smaller images of other eye catching stories.
At the top of the page next to the title 'Contents' is advertisement of a dvd with the name of their magazine 'Kerrang' on it. This is common advertisement used for promotion.
Overall, this contents page is quite simple and plain with not much outbursts of colours.
