Contents page analysis - kerrang



The images are dominant on this contents page, this is positive as it gives the reader allot to look at and take in whilst looking attractive and not dull by just having all text. However it could look overdone and messy. As the contents is mainly images there are few words, however they are used in clear, black capitals to emphasise the angriness of the magazine as the target is the market of the Rock music. Also in a smaller font there is the cover issue and date. This is to remind the reader what issue it is even thought it is on the front cover. the overall impression is that the layout of the contents page is cluttered, bold and loud. This is done purposely as it attracts the target audience of Rock music, as a clean cut contents page would look out of place in this magazine. In the Right bottom corner there is a red box highlighting to the audience that they can get "get K! delivered to their door for just £6 a month" underneath there is a number for readers to subscribe to this offer. The reason why there is such a bright red used in the box is to attract readers to sign up.  As many magazines have there is a quick note from the editor. this is alongside the picture of the front cover. This is largely effective as it relates directly to the audience as i gives them a personal approach to the reader as they feel they can relate and connect to how the editor is writing. it is seen as conventional if the writer gives a common at he end of the article.
