1. Rock sound magazine
The colour scheme of this magazines contents page uses a lot of dark background colours to then use contrasting colours on top. It sticks with 3 main colours of
black, red and white which are all colours that the subject also has on. His black leather jacket creates an image of being cool and is associated with the genre, he
has very pale skin when put under the bright light looking very white like the text and his hair is red which also links with the text. The contrasting colours make it
very easy to read the text on the page whilst giving the magazine an edgy/mysterious mood and atmosphere. The same mood is shown by the subject.
The page numbers on this contents page are in a different colour to the rest of the text and this is for multiple reasons. Firstly, it makes it stand out more from the
text and separates it so the reader can see it clearly without difficulty. It also makes the page look a lot less boring as it is not all in the same colour, this makes the
page overall look more appealing. The numbers are in a slightly larger font than the text beside it which creates a separation so it does not all blend into one, not
only does it make it easier to see/navigate through but it looks more appealing.
This particular magazine does not have the title of the page that is “contents” and relies on the reader to see the
page numbers and information instead to identify what page it is. The title of this page would be the name of the
magazine which informs the reader what magazine it is if they were to see this page first.

2. Kerrang! magazine:
This particular magazine has a good use of columns giving the page structure and makes it a lot easier to read for the reader as it is set out clearly. This contents
page breaks the usual codes and conventions of 2/3 columns and uses 5 columns. It shows the reader where the texts separate.
The use of pictures anchoring articles in this magazine is used a lot and makes the page look a lot less boring and creates the illusion of there being less text. This
would encourage the reader to read more and overall enjoy reading it more as it is not long boring and long – takes no effort to read (audience are lazy). They are
very relatable to the genre of the magazine and will be known by many of the fans of the magazine which would make them want the magazine more to read about
the subjects in the images.
This exact magazine has many different headings on it and does not just have a section for regulars and features, but has many more different features. This gives
the audience more variety and specificity in what they want to read. The headings are in yellow text on a black background making it stand out much more than
the rest of the text which shows they are an eye catching feature that aim to entice the reader more. They have a lot of special features that are specific to that
week as headings as they are important to that issue.

3. Mojo magazine:
The font on this magazine cover is quite small and very basic – this makes it very easy to read so the audience have no issues or struggles to see it. It is a different
colour to the page numbers so it stands out and looks different, this makes it easy for the reader to see where they should begin reading. The most important
piece of text that would be seen as the most intriguing is of bands/artists that reader would know and like making them want to read about them.
The issue number on this magazine is relatively small but goes in its own place making it seen quite important. It clearly tells the reader what issue this magazine
is and also shows the date so they know how recent the magazine is so they can keep up with the current issues. It is in a black text on a white background which
makes it easy to see but its small font does not allow it to take an attention away from the rest of the magazine.
The page number on this particular contents page is very small at the bottom right of the page where it is a contrasting colour to the background (white on black)
making it easy to read but the small text makes it a minor feature and does not take any attention away from what is seen as the more important and eye
catching features.
The magazine name is also the title of this page stating what magazine it is so the reader can clearly see. It is in very bold
and large text making it the most noticeable over the rest of the text on the page and would be the first text they saw.
