My second analysis of a contents page.

1. Contents Page Research 2
Brass Band World February 2014

2. Language
The language used in the
contents page is specialist
language that would require
background knowledge in the
subject. This means the
magazine has a specific target
audience, who I believe to be
aged over 40.

3. Images & Representations
There are four images, all showing men, used portray the genre
of ensemble music, owing to the instruments used in the images,
and the clothing worn by the subjects. The tuxedo and the
uniform are synonymous with American concert and military
bands.

4. Colours
The main colour on this contents page
reflects the colours used on the front
cover, creating synergy throughout the
magazine.

5. Cover Story & Front Cover Links
There is no
indication on the
contents page
which story is the
article featured on
the cover. This
breaks conventions
of music
magazine. There
are also no
discernable links
to the front cover.

6. Text Wrapping
There is no text
wrapping on the
contents page,
instead columns
are used. This is
unusual for
contents pages,
but in this case
complies with the
formality of the
magazine.

7. Font Style and Size
The font used on this
contents page is mainly
sans serif, with the
heading of the page
being written in a serif
font. The size of the
font is very similar
throughout.

8. Features/Special Features
Unlike the contents I analyzed in my
previous analysis, this contents page
has no special features such as
competitions or ways to interact
with the magazine on social media.
It does however, have a section with
details as to how to subscribe to
every copy of the magazine.
