1. This contents page contains quite allot of
information for the reader. What it
doesn’t do is clearly state what is on
every page of the magazine and is unclear
to the reader what is listed in the
magazine.
The main colour is grey which is a
really boring depressing colour, this
will not grab the readers eye to the
page because the page doesn’t
actually look too pleasing.
Although the colour grey won’t catch the
readers eye the creator uses contrasting
colours very well to try to lure them into
the page.
Again the colour grey isn’t going to
catch the readers eye so the creator
has used the main large image to try
to grab the readers attention.
2. The contents page of NME magazine
is much clearer to the reader and is
more clearly laid out. It shows what
is on what page e.c.t.
The page having mainly brighter
colours grabs the readers eye and
entices the reader into the
magazine.
The magazine has lots of
information on its contents page
but it is very well laid out with clear
headings and subheadings.
A very good feature on this magazine
contents page is the ‘band index’.
This feature allows the reader to
clearly see the bands in this issue
and what page to find them on, this
is very user friendly.
The contents page also has a small
article in the middle. I think this is a
bad thing as this page isn’t the type
of page that demands to have an
article in it but is more to help the
reader through the magazine
layout.
3. The contents page for Q magazine
is very simple and eye catching
because of the bright bold colours
and the images on the page.
A good feature on the page is that
the images are big and bold and
easy to see. Also the images
contain the page numbers where
more information on them and
articles about the images can be
found, very user friendly.
The page doesn’t have much
information for the reader to
handle and can be easily read.
A bad thing about this page is that
all the pages aren’t clearly listed
and with what's on the pages of
the magazine but rather what the
magazine have prioritised making
it hard for some users to work their
way through the magazine.
