1. Music Magazine
Contents Page
Analysis

2. This contents page is very informative for
the reader. It has obvious guidelines and
page numbers for the reader finding their
way through the magazine.
In the typography, the main titles are in
reversed out but with yellow and black.
They are clashing colours so it makes them
stand out more to the readers eyes.
The use of images on the page is quite
frequent as they have pictures of bands
and single band members with the main
stories.
At the top left of the page, we have an
editor’s note. Also a thumbnail of the
front cover of the magazine.
On the top right of the page there is the
main title/masthead of the contents page,
and uses the same editing as the other
titles.
Underneath we have a quote from a band
member of Metallica. Which could attract
a readers interest as they know a popular
band has been involved in this magazine.

3. This contents page is also very informative for the
reader and also has bold guidelines and page
numbers for the reader finding their way through
the magazine.
In the typography, the main titles are in reversed
out but with yellow and black alike the magazine
contents page I analyzed before. They are clashing
colours so it makes them more appealing to
readers.
The use of images on the page is quite frequent
as they have pictures of bands and single band
members with the main stories. The expressions
on the faces fit with the sub-headlines that are
with them.
At the top left of the page, we have an editor’s
note. Also a thumbnail of the editor herself. This is
good as this is like they are involving the readers
with the people involved in the magazine.
On the top right of the page there is the main
title/masthead of the contents page, and uses the
same editing as the other titles.
Underneath we have another quote from
someone from Anti-flag.
In the main headlines, the sub-headlines have
been made more visible as they are main stories
they would like the reader to view.

4. In Q this magazine it is quite simple
with how it is set out. It is very textual
but still uses images with the main
stories.
This has a much more subtle tone
compared to my previous analyses.
They have used colouring of red,
black, white and a beige colour on
their ‘Oasis special’ section. They
have gone along with the theme of
the magazine logo colours or white
and red. But calmed it down a tone
with the black behind the main titles.
They have a main image for their
main/most popular story. They have a
thumbnail sized photo near the
section of their reviews.
All along the left side of the page are
a list of their contents. Also at the
bottom of the list is another section
for monthly things like ‘crossword;
and subscriptions etc;
Along the top right of the page they
have the issue number, date and year
of the magazine. Which helps readers
keep in track of what’s what with
which magazine.
