Contents page analysis.

This is a contents page from a Kerrang magazine. It's quite cluttered but looks very good anyway. The big picture helps to break the page into two main sections. Also the picture is good because it is better than having a whole page of plain text.


The main colour scheme is white and yellow. These colours are quite bright and lively. The word 'Contents' stands out because it is in yellow and it stands out against the black background. The contents page also features a number of smaller titles such as 'Feedback' these also stand out because of the yellow writing on the black background. As well as this all the main writing on this page is in capital letters, this makes the page easier to navigate. These small titles also help to sell the magazine because the reader/buyer can open the magazine to this page and read them and, if they like them then they can buy it. Each of the band featured in the magazine are written in bold black capital letters, this is used for easier navigation and to encourage the readers. All the main artists in bold makes the reader feel as thought they are getting good value for money.


The contents page also features a lengthy caption from the editor. This is a good feature as it is a personal touch and also provides a lot of information. This caption has a few page references in it as well, once again making this page even more useful.
