This document summarizes the contents and layout of a magazine. It describes the use of large images and text on the cover to draw attention to the main stories. It also explains the organization of articles and sections within, with clear titles, page numbers, and brief descriptions to help readers navigate to the content most relevant to their interests. Color schemes, fonts, and graphic elements are used consistently throughout to create a cohesive brand identity and aesthetic.

1. Masthead covered by
image because it is well
known. Also the biggest
font on the page to make
sure it stands out and is
clearly visible
Main image uses
direct mode of
address due to
Kanye West being
saying “I AM RAP”.
Also the fact that
Kanye is the cover
sets the theme of
rap music as well as
the music world
Main cover line
links to main
image
Colour scheme of blue
black and pink linking
with the collar of
Kanye’s Jacket
Skyline tells
reader what is
inside. Good to
be at the top
because the
magazines are
stacked up
Strapline used with
the rule of thirds to
get the audience
interested quickly
and is an easy way
of getting across the
important part of
the article.

2. Clear bold titles so you know
exactly what you are looking
for. The serif writing in bold
shows it is clearly a title that
will have lots of other articles
within that category.
The page numbers are in
bold and are bigger than
the text so people know
that they can just go
straight to the page and
know a little bit about
what is on the page. In
smaller text is what is on
each of the pages so
people don’t have to flick
through the entire
magazine to get to what
they actually want to read
Another main image of Kanye West
links with the running theme of the
magazine. The fact that there are
no other images shows how
important he is and is better than
everyone else.
The “V” in the background is
a key micro code as it is the
first letter of the magazine
name and is a running theme
throughout the magazine.
This abstract way of writing
the word “Contents” is
something that is associated
with this specific magazine.
The fact it is spread out over
three lines and is evenly
spaced appeals to the newer
generation as it is something
not done with any other
magazine.
Small caption about
the image again to tell
you what the exclusive
is about. The
important words are in
bold so you are
instantly drawn in.

3. The main Logo/Masthead
is covered by Dave Grohl
head because the
magazine is well known
and by having the main
image bigger than
anything else, you know
exactly wo the magazines
biggest article is about
The band “The Foo Fighters”
are inside the mouth of Dave
Grohl because he is the main
singer and the head man of
the band. The guitars and
things like hat are key codes
for the genre of rock music
The strapline has the word “Foo” as
the biggest text size on the page
because it puts emphasis on the
band name and draws in the
audience to that name. The fact
that there is some text under the
cover line helps the reader know
exactly what they will be getting
from the magazine The other bands
aren’t as big because the articles
about them aren’t as big or as
important.
The colour scheme of red and white
with some black and gold is typical of
this magazine so everyone knows what
magazine it is from a long distance.
This Puff with a lure brings in an
audience because people want
everything for free and if there is
something that really appeals to
a wide audience then everyone
would want to pick a magazine.

4. The different articles are
divided by a red line with a
title and page number in
bold text. This makes it
clear to see which article is
on which page so people
can go straight to the page
they want. Also the fact
that the line is red fits with
the colour scheme
The main iconic logo is on the
page and the contents title is
clearly written at the top of the
page. It is clear to see with the
contract of black on red.
The individual images have
page numbers on them so
sometimes you don’t even
need to read what's going on
because the images give a clear
insight into what the article is.
The central image is linking
with the cover page which
draws in a specific audience
because if people picked up the
magazine to see Dave Grohl
then they will be happy to see
him as much as possible. The
page number for this image is
the biggest text on the page
because it is the most
important article in the whole
magazine

5. Clear Masthead so people
can clearly see what the
magazine is. The twist on the
word roots is linked to folk
as folk music is the starting
point of all music
The date is in the top right
so people will see the top
half of the magazine and
can see it is brand new
The barcode is
out the way on
the side of the
page to make
sure the image
isn’t blocked off
Articles in green box to
stand out on the blue so
people are drawn in to
what’s in the magazine
The main image of Sam
Lee in an urban
background links to
modern folk music to
show that folk music is
no longer just for the
country people. His
name at the bottom of
the page is the biggest
text apart from the
masthead so people
know exactly who is is
Price is the smallest
text so people aren’t
too put off when they
look at the magazine

6. Clear Masthead is the biggest
text on the page so everyone
knows what the magazine is
called
No barcode or date/price
on the front cover. All of
these are on the back cover
so nothing takes away from
the stylistic image
Main article in
different typeface
and different
colour to show
that this is the
main article of the
magazine. The text
is flipped on one
word to link to the
folk lifestyle in
which there are no
rules on how
things should be
This main image has
been edited to make the
cover stand out from any
other magazine. The
colours used are very
vibrant which is typical of
folk music as everything
is lively. The idea of a VW
campervan is linked to
folk due to its Gipsy
following and some parts
of folk music originating
from this social group
Faded words in the background
look like they have been written
on a scrap piece of lined paper.
This links to folk as most of its
traditions were written down on
parchment and then passed
down through generations. Also
the idea of re-using paper links
to the natural side of the society
of folk

7. Contents page – RayGun
Magazine
Contents title is
broken up to
give more of an
abstract style
which links to
the obscurity of
the folk society
The page numbers are
bold in front of the text
so it is clear that these
articles on these pages
The font is a box styled font and
fades at certain points of the
letters. The text overlaps to try
and show how abstract folk is
The main image
is over the top of
the text but
almost looks like
she is lying on
top of the text to
try and engage
the audience

8. Top stories are shown as a
category so the page
numbers do not go
chronologically. This way
people can look for exactly
what they want to read and
skip through everything
else. Also the fact that the
top news is a category
means people can find the
best bits more easily
Page numbers are put in
brackets so can be easily
found when skim reading
through text which is
usually what people do
when looking at a
contents page
Images link to the text
clearly so people don’t even
have to read for them to
know what's happening on
what page
Brief description of what is on
the first page of very
important news. This is so
people can read through and
get a rough idea of what the
article is about. This way
people can decide whether or
not it is worth reading. The
article links to folk as it is
about a folk band
The title is clear with a date
so people can clearly see
that this is a contents page.
Even though it doesn’t
actually say contents page
anywhere it clearly has the
connotations of a contents
page as it is saying in the
title, “This is what you will
find in this issue of FME”
