1. Most of the writing is found on the left hand side of the contents page with the image sitting closer to the right, this creates an essay way of navigating through the magazine. By looking at the arrow we can also see that main titles have been written in a larger number in the colour white, whilst the writing below in smaller and in pink, helping us to see which writing has more importance. Another factor would be that a house style has been created, this is evident by the fact that the writing written on the left in white and the writing on the right in pink had been typed in the same font style. They have added text at the Top of the magazine because Its usually one of the first Places people look. This allows A better way of advertisement Content Analysis The largest image on the Page is of a band ‘The wanted’ The magazine have been very clever and used a band that are very high up on the charts, this will also appeal to a wider audience.

We can see that throughout the magazine the colour flow is the same making the magazine look stable and well organised. Too much of different colours can make a magazine look untidy and unprofessional. However using the colour pink could suggest that the magazine is for females, but the choice of music is unisex so some audience may get confused at the targeted audience. The logo ‘club NME’ has been posted on the contents page Many times to insure that the brand is being put out their to All audiences. In hope that it will appeal and sell to more people.

The numbers are there To navigate the reader to the page That they are interested in reading. By adding images it can sometimes Make finding what you are looking For more simple than reading Written information. The images are Connected to the numbers on the Right hand side of the page underneath ‘Features’. This could help people who Cant remember artists by name, the Images will support them. The colour flow of orange black And white seem to appeal more Towards a male audience.. The choice Of colours look quite dark and mysterious Making the page look quite dull. The colours However do tie in with the aim of the magazine which Is rock music.. So it seems that the magazine Is based on one specific audience. ‘Exclusive’ is a powerful word As people like to know and be Given information that isn't already Out in the open... A lot of people like Different. So using the word exclusive is clever because more people are going to want whatever it is that is ‘exclusive’ meaning that there will be more people watching the music channel and turning up at gigs. By adding so many images, It makes the page seem boring. There is little information to lure the reader in and there is nothing That would appeal to a wider audience.

3. The title ‘contents’ has been posted in three stages in very Large writing. This has been done to make the page look more Artistic as hip-hop and R&B is about being artistic, so they are trying To relate everything posted on the magazine to the music and The music artists.

But in This case it has been written very small And in black, making it not the main focus The main focus on this page would be the very large image. we can see that the magazine is based on R&B as the man himself Is a rapper. He is showing off his wealth by flashing his different diamond necklaces as well as his diamond bracelets. He’s even topless showing off his grills and tattoos which is most focused in the Hip-Hop glamour world. With the three main colours Being red black and white The magazine looks much more Masculine , red usually connotes a sense of power or aggression but in the case of the magazine it seems to be power and strength. The large image of the main especially supports the idea of a masculine look in the magazine, however, the music is aimed at both men and women so in my opinion the colours could be toned down a little bit.
