Contents Page Analysis

This Kerrang contents page has the basic outline of the majority of Kerrang contents pages. The title ‘Contents’ is in the top right hand corner in yellow writing with a black background. The issue number and date is also stated here in a smaller less eye-catching font. There is one main image of an article that the editor would expect many of the readers to want to read. Therefore this image representing this article is given a large proportion of the page. The section labelled as ‘This week’ is down the right hand side and is well proportioned in relation to the featured article on this page. Each section of this is labelled clearly with again yellow writing on a black background. The pages and names of the articles are then under these subcategories. The note from the editor is in the top left of the page when previously it has sometimes appeared in the bottom left. I will do this in my contents page. The images of the articles are edited in the style of the ‘rule of thirds’ across the page. They are also laid out in an orderly style with every image except from the main featured one, the same size. I will possibly use this type of layout in my magazine.
