1. The page
numbers are in
bold next to each
article, they are
bold and a
different colour.
This contents page doesn't
have ‘contents’ as the title
like another is has ‘NME his
week’ – this may fit in with
the original and individual
theme they have going on
with them magazine.
The layout is columned,
in a clear and is
aesthetically pleasing.
This will attract readers
to it as its easy to read
Subscription advertisement
for their magazine at the
bottom of the page.

2. There is the main article
picture but they haven’t
actually got a page number
on the main article picture
like most magazines.
This is the main article to fit
with the main article image,
this is a brief in sight, they
give you some of the story on
the contents page but you
usually carry onto another
page to read the full article.
They have subheadings
for the different content
in the magazine. Such as,
News, Radar, Reviews,
Live! And Features. This
makes it easier for the
readers to find what they
are looking for easier and
quicker.

3. The date is clearly
displayed at the top of
the page.
NME is used here,
acting as a logo to
show that its part of
the magazine.
The font size is very
small but the heading
of the articles are in
bold and a larger font
size, this is so its easier
for the readers to find.
They have little
design features to
add to the
originality of the
magazine.

4. The colour scheme is, red,
white, black and yellow. This
fits in with the genre.
The picture also suggests the
genre because of the
different stages of the mise
en scene.
They also use a drop cap
here like they do on the
articles on double page
spreads.
There is a puff, with
buzzwords also, ‘No1’
this is in bold and will
attract the readers
attention.

5. The layout is busy. This
for a lot of people is a
good thing and attracts
them, therefore
attracting readers,
because there is a lot of
content for them to read.
This is the magazines own
original feature and adds to
the individual taste to the
magazine. It is also in red
text to make is stand out
more to the audience
readers, and the page
numbers are in black making
them stand out more.
Personally I think this looks
professional, and would
attract readers because of
how much content there is
on the page.

6. Here is the issue number, the
date, website address. This is
usually found at the top of the
page in one of the corners, as like
Kerrang!
The page is titled contents but ‘Q’
is used as a logo to show that its
part of the magazine.
This is a medium sized image, a
long shot. It takes up a lot of
the page, therefor it seems like
there isn’t much content.
There is a page number
with the title of the main
article, this is used to make
the reader want to read on,
it is also easy for the reader
to find as they have also
included a page number on
the picture.

7. The picture suggest the genre
of the magazine because of
the elements of mise en
scene, the way they are
dressed, stood, their props
and also background. You can
tell that the magazine is based
around the genre of indie
rock.
The layout is columned and
aesthetically pleasing, its neat
and has good structure, it’s
clear to read, this will help
readers to locate things.
There are subheadings, they
are bold and stand out, they
also have bold and red page
numbers that are all the
same size and are in the
same location down the
column’s which make makes
the page look professional
and finished.

8. This is also a special addition to
the magazine, again making it even
more original and may attract
more readers if they are big ‘Oasis’
fans.
They have only used one
smaller image, it doesn’t take
up much room, it also has the
name of the artist on the
picture with the page number,
this makes it easier for the
readers to find that article.
This is something that is an
original thing to the magazine,
this is a section that you will
find only in this magazine titled
as ‘Q’ magazine.

9. The writing is a small font, but the
title is larger and bold so that its
easier to skim through to find what
you are looking for, and also stands
out more to the readers if they are
trying to find something that takes
their interest.
Personally I think that this contents
page looks professional and would
attract readers. The colour scheme
is consistent and the layout is
pleasing to look at, its also clear
and neat.

10. The page is title ‘contents’ and
fits in with the colour scheme
and the font of the ‘Kerrang!’
masthead.
The issue info and cover
date are usually found at
the top of the page in a
smaller font.
The page number and
title of the article is on
the main image so they
can locate this article in
the magazine.
There are subheadings on
the magazine, they stand
out because of them being
outlined in black, they also
fit in with the colour
scheme, this helps the
reader to find them easier.

11. Kerrang! has also added
another title ‘Kerrang! this
week’ they are adding things
like this to try and make
their magazine stand out
from the others and have an
original touch.
This is the magazines
editorial, it isn’t always
located on the contents
page, as NME and Q
doesn’t have an editorial
included on their contents
page, a picture of the editor
is also added here, he is
giving direct mode of
address to make the reader
feel as though they are
actually listening to him
talking to them as they are
reading it.

12. These smaller images,
have been put here
because they are main
articles of the magazine
and they also have the
page number and band
name, this makes it
easier for the readers to
locate this page in the
magazine and read more
about it.
They have included
smaller images on the
contents page, they go
with the articles.
This is the subscription
information, as like
NME, it is being
advertised on the
contents page, the
colours fits in with the
colour scheme, red,
white, black and yellow.

13. Looking at the main image you
can instantly tell the genre of the
magazine(rock) because of the
mise en scene, the way the actor
is stood, the clothes and props he
has on, his facial expression, the
background and lighting. You can
tell that this is a rock magazine,
it’s important that the magazine
portrays this to the reader
throughout the magazine.
They also have included original
design features like these small
puffs, they will help the reader
find what they are looking for, as
they are displaying that they are
the cover stories.
The title Kerrang! Also fits in with
the genre because its smashed, and
the image that rock stars portray is
a band that smashes things up and
gives this image of having a bit of a
‘crazy stage presence’

14. The page numbers for all
the articles are the same
size, and in bold and red
so that they stand out,
they are all also located in
the same place, at the
start of the article title.
The article title is in bold
and is a larger font than
the information just below
it, that is a smaller font
and isn’t bold.
Personally I do think that
this contents page looks
professional, it’s a busy
layout but that fits in with
the genre of the
magazine. The colour
scheme is also consistent
and fits with the genre.
