Contents Page analysis 2



I like this contents page. It consists of two A4 sheets. There are 9 images on this contents page. On the left-hand side of the contents page there is a large main image of a member of the 'GorrilaZ', as this picture takes up nearly the whole of the first page, it shows that it is trying to get the readers attention as a main article and shows that this particular artist has some importance in this edition of the magazine. Also there is an enlarged number for the big picture, this emphasises that the magazine is trying to grasp your attention towards page '44' to read their article. I think that the columns on the right and left of the double page spread could be easily recreated in my own magazine; this magazine also matches my colour scheme of red, black and white. I think the colour scheme works effectively in this magazine's contents page, so i will continue to stick with this colour scheme in my contents page.

Contents Page Analysis



I like this edition of a contents page by Kerrang magazine, ther music artists names which they are advertising and doing an article on is in bold, this is so they can catch the readers interest. I also like that the lines are splitting the imaged up into different collumns, this creates a nice structure to the contents page. This page is easy to navigate as each photo includes page numbers next to the image, this relates to the reader what is inside the magazibne. As most contents pages this includes a message from the editor, this maked the reader feel like the editor is talking directly at them. As most contents pages again they use a past or present magazine cover to show the reader what they are missing out on and what they can get 'tuned in' on.  On the left hand side of this contents page the Bold subheadings are in capital letters which make the articles instantly eye-grasping. This layout could be fairly simple to recreate for my magazine as it is set out nicely in collumns and most of the photos in this contents page are not natural poses, they are pictures of bands/ solo artists performing.

I have slightly changed the size of text for the masthead, this is the finished product.. it may be slightly improved over the course of these next 2 weeks, but there will be no dramatic changes.

Album Cover

I have created an album color to fill out the right hand side of my double page spread and maybe to put onto my contents page, I have created it using paint and an editing software.
