Music Magazine Contents Page Analysis 3

This is the contents page for 'KERRANG' magazine. In my opinion this is my favourite contents page that I have chosen to analyse. Like the other contents pages this one uses the same idea of splitting the contents up into sections (eg: FEEDBACK, NEWS etc.) and then listing the article featured in the magazine under one of these headings. This I think appeals to readers more than just placing all the articles into one big list. Also headers and page number are black on yellow which contrast and make them stand out on the page.

Like the other contents pages I have analysed most of the page is taken up by pictures. One of the main article in the magazine has the largest picture on the page and again this is good as it relates to the article and if a picture was out there for for one of the least important articles then it wouldn't work as well as this is as people tend to want to read the main articles in the magazine more than the smaller articles put in the magazine.

Unlike the other contents pages small pictures have been put in the page. These pictures relate to other articles that were on the front cover of the magazine. Instead f placing them in the list on the right side of the magazine the page numbers have been placed on the picture. I think this is a good idea as I think it shows that there is a connection between the magazine cover, contents page and the article.

The header for the page is actually rather small and has been placed in the corner. I think this works as most people can clearly see by looking at the page that it is the contents page so having a large header saying contents is unnecessary.
