1. Masthead
The Masthead has been included in
the contents page as it is the title
of the magazine. The font is bold
and attracts the reader’s attention.
It is also the brand of the magazine
so should be included in the
magazine wherever possible.
Rule of thirds
The contents
page follows the
rule of thirds
efficiently as it
is a code and
convention of a
magazine
contents page.
The page is split
into three
columns the
main article
being the
biggest
attraction on
the page as its
size shows its
significance.
Grab quotes
These attract the audience as
the give the reader an insight
into what is to come in the
magazine. They can appeal to a
niche market if they attract a
specific fan of an artist featured
in the magazine.
Layout
The layout is packed full of information
and doesn’t leave any blank space. The
images take up any unwanted blank
space yet is still relevant to the page.
Main image
The main
image is a mid-shot
of an
artist playing a
live show. This
lets the reader
know of the
things that are
likely to come
up inside (info
on live shows)
This links into
mise-en-scene
as the artist is
quite wearing
informal
clothing and
this reflects on
the magazine,
letting the
reader know
that it too is
informal.
Page numbers
The page numbers are used to guide the
reader throughout the magazine. The
numbers are quite bold so they are clear
to the reader.
