The document summarizes and compares the contents pages of two music magazines - Kerrang! and Uncut. Kerrang!'s contents page has an informal style with colorful graphics and ads. It promotes the main article band through their photo and T-shirt ad. Uncut's contents page has a formal, tidy style with one large photo and sections clearly organized under headings. It includes an article by the editor on the right side. Both contents pages aim to entice readers with previews of the magazine's articles and promotions.

1. It also uses the word ‘kerrang!’ in the
title of ‘KERRANG! CONTENTS’ is used
in exactly the same format as the
front page, this helps to keep the
pattern of the magazine all the way
through The fonts for each of the headings are all
the same. It uses a sans Serif font to
connote informality. The yellow on black
headings also give a sense of structure
because it makes the headings bold to
make them stand out. The house style of
the contents page uses similar ‘square’
The main image used on the
shapes throughout the contents page
contents page is a picture of
‘YOUMEATSIX’ who are the main
article of the magazine. This helps to
draw the reader in and tells them
exactly what to expect throughout
the magazine. It also uses an advert
of ‘YOUMEATSIX’ T-shirts as
promotion for the artists that are
going to be on the main article of
the magazine.
Subscription of the magazine is
advertised in the terminal optical
area of the contents page, used to
try and make sure that you buy the
magazine again.

2. 2 speech “splats” of blood used to ask an informal
question to the readers of the magazine, and then an
answer is given to the question by two famous artists at
the bottom of the splat

Lots of small photos used
to show different
attributes of the band. Website used to promote the artists that are being
written about in the article above going across the
bottom of one page, then on the other page using
the same banner a description of what is on the
website.

3. The Masthead also uses some colloquial language because
it uses Florence and the machines song ‘You’ve got the
love’ and instead put USA got the love. The article will
most likely be about how the USA have started to love the
artist
The Main article in the double page
spread is most clearly about
Florence and the machine because it
uses a very large image in the back
ground which takes up the
background of the whole page, but
the actual image itself is only on the
left side of the page.
Unlike Kerrang again. Uncut doesn’t use lots of small
photos it only uses one big one, and also the text is very
formal and tidy. Put to the bottom right hand corner of
the two pages underneath the article. Also this double
page spread doesn’t use promotions or an advertisement
it only has the one article and that’s it.

4. Unlike Kerrang, Uncut magazines
contents is very clearly presented
and very tidy. For example the date
of the issue is very clearly stated at The main article in the magazine will most

The house style of this page is very
formal and also uses a very formal

one
Everything in the contents page of the
magazine is very well organised, everything is
under its own heading. For example,
‘REGULARS’ and ‘FEATURES’ each of these
headings has a few band names after it. Down the right hand side of the contents
page is an article written by the editor of the
magazine. We know it was written by the
editor because it clearly states EDITOR at the
top and also shows a little picture at the
beginning of the article.
