Contents Page Analysis 1

This contents page is of drummer, the contents page strikes the reader as it is structured very well and has a very simple design with very good use of colours and layout, the layout and composition is very simple but it stands out and looks very bold which connotes strength and power, the first thing that attracts our eyes is the ‘drummer’ its big and bold and instantaneously we know what genre the magazine is aimed at. The ‘drummer’ stands out and it is very loud. I expect this magazine to be aimed at a younger audience because the use of lots of images makes it a very visual contents page which younger audience like more. The main image is of drums, this also jumps out of the page and it is very loud, there are loads of sub images of drums which connotes that is a rock magazine. The brand identity is very clear, and the use of colour is excellent, the consistent colours of red, black and white make the contents page elegant, sleek and simple. By using just a few colours it makes it look very professionally done, the deep red that is used is very catching which makes the audience notice it and read the contents page. Right in the middle of the contents page there is a sub heading in bold white saying ‘Exclusive’, this draws in the reader and excites them and informs them that there is a special piece in the magazine. Overall it is a very good contents page it stands out and attracts the reader and has a good use of typical conventions and features.
