Research And Planning: Contents Page Analysis

This is a contents page for "Kerrang" magazine. This fits well with the target audience because it has one of the biggest bands known to the genre of magazine. This contents page is also really good because it appeals to the target audience easily. It fits in well with the theme of black, yellow and red. The magazine has a huge title which still fits with the front page.
The contents page is really good because of the neatness to it. Every part of the contents page is so sleek and so on point. The layout of it is so precise. This gives the magazine contents page a good finish and makes it look professional.
The contents page is good because the size of the font is also really good. There is no font which is abnormal. The font is also consistent. It is all the same font but in a different colour so it doesn't look like it's too much. The contents page is also got font which isn't uneven. The name of the band is the biggest font after the title and this is good because so then the person reading the magazine can then see clearly that there is a big band obviously within the magazine. The part where it says "Tickets and meet and greet" is really bold and this is good because you notice this straight away and to the fans of this band, they will certainly want to buy this as it would give them a chance to meet their idols.
This is a good font too because it is one of the biggest fonts on the page which the designer has purposely done because this way it can attract the most attention.
This contents page is good because there are photos in it nut not too many. There is a main image then two little ones which are apart of the magazine. We also see that there is a written note within the contents page and this is good because it makes the magazine more personal to the reader. This individual who has wrote the little note is also a well known person within the rock industry. Black Veil Brides are one of the biggest bands in the rock industry and a note from a member of the band makes the reader feel that this would be a really interesting magazine.
The actual content on the contents page is also really good. This is because there is not too much but enough to tell us what is inside the magazine. The content is also good because it gives some brief information on each part of the magazine.
The background of the contents page is white and this is good because it is not adding too much of an effect and it isn't too simplistic as the bright colours added to the page evens it and it goes unnoticed.
The colours are effective because the yellow stands out really well with the white and it fits with the theme of the rock magazine. The red is also conventional for the magazine so this is well done.
