Analysis Contents Page

The contents page has used images of either new bands or unsigned bands; they have put the images in squares maybe so that the images stand out. They are very neatly placed and organised, they have been arranged line by line so you know what is going on. The target audience is 15+ this is because they have all new bands in the magazine, there are also young, hot females and males in the images so that will attract the audience because they will want to read about them and see what they do, are they in a band or are they going on tour. The big image on the left top corner is the main image on this page because it is bigger than the rest of the images, so maybe the magazine wants the audience to read that story rather than the rest.

The colours that are used are yellow, white and red; these colours make the contents page stand out, these colours also attract the reader because yellow is a bright colour and the audience will look at the yellow first and see what is written there. The black background on the yellow writing makes the yellow stand out more so the audience will definitely be attracted to this piece of writing. I think the pictures stand out more so I think this is a disadvantage because no one would really look at the writing on it. I think the pictures attract the audience more because they are big, bold and neatly done. The colours in the contents page are not the same as the front cover, there are two colours the same white and red but the front cover stands out more because the writing is bigger. The font in this contents page is quite bold and big so it does stand out but not that much, the font will not attract the audience the colour will so the colours are an advantage in this contents page.

The information is organised not that well because the writing is not that bold so no one will really read it they will look at the images, the writing written in yellow stands out but the rest of the writing does not. It tells us that the magazine focuses more on the images than the text; on the front cover of the magazine the title is clear and bold.
There are promotional features on the contents page and that is that you can have Kerrang! Magazine delivered right at your door for £6.00 a month. I think this is a good idea because Kerrang! Directors will get more profit for the magazine if the audience buy this, they will get more money if they will buy the magazine regularly. The magazine logo is not on the contents page I think this is a disadvantage for the magazine because having the logo on the contents page is promotional. Overall I think the magazine contents page is good and well organised they just need to make the writing stand out more and change the colours.
