Codes and Conventions of a music
magazine contents page.
Page Title
A contents page always includes the title ‘Contents’ in large, bold font, usually larger than any other text on the page aside from the title which is
often bigger
Masthead
The contents page always contains the title of the magazine which is located near the title of the contents page.
Use of Columns
Columns are used to separate all the information and to keep it well organised to its easy for the viewer to
read. Most contents pages usually use up to 3 columns.
Use of images
All contents pages contain images to stop the viewer from getting bored and having to read lots of writing.
The images always relate to the contents and usually have one larger image and two smaller ones. All the
images have relevant mise en scene to the genre of the magazine and they also contain page numbers to
show the audience which page they can find the information.
Masthead and Issue information
The contents page repeats the Masthead of the magazine and the issue information off the cover page. This is
always placed towards the top of the magazine/next to or near the ‘Contents’ title.
Captions
Captions are used on images to give a brief summary of what the image is about.
Page Number at the Bottom
Every page contains the page number at the bottom of the page and it is usually if not always on the left hand
side.
House Style
Similarly to the cover page the contents page uses relevant mise en scene to the genre of the magazine. The font
used is also relative to the genre of the magazine, so if it’s a rock magazine the writing might be smashed or really
bold and crooked. The colours used also relate to the genre.
Section headings
The different sections on the contents page have headings for example, Feature content, Regular
content, Reviews etc. The headings are usually bolder or underlined to show the reader where a
different section starts and to break up the text to make it organised and easy to read.
Buzzword
A word used to intrigue the reader and make them want to read on. It’s usually an incentive, something free
or an offer such as ‘Free’.
