Analysis of 3 music magazine contents pages

this contents page shows us the title of the magazine with ‘this week’ next to it which tells us that this is what is featured this week in the magazine.

this gives us different headers of what is in the magazine to make it easier for the reader to find a certain page or article.

There is a ‘band index’ on this page. This is where the bands featured are put in alphabetical order. This helps the reader find what they want to read about, for example, a band that was featured on the cover.

The main image is of the band which is the most featured in the magazine. This is probably a band who promoting a new album or single etc…

There is a small box at the bottom of the page where is says ‘FREE POSTERS’ this is written in big writing to attract the reader. The words ‘YOU SAVE £5.49’ tells the reader how much they are saving. It also tells you which page it is on and a small image of the poster so you can see what it looks like.

Where it says ‘music, fashion, celebrities’ this tells the reader about what the magazine is about and what is included inside.

These headers have a page number next to each one to show which page it is on. This is helpful if the reader bought the magazine to read a certain article and if they want to skip to a certain page.

Some words change colour towards the end of the sentence so the words do not blend into the image which is in black and white and would clash with the writing.

The main image on this contents page is of an artist who is featured in the magazine. As you can tell, the page numbers start at 14 therefore there must be a previous page where there is another image or the image spreads across 2 pages.

Page 40 stands out and is apart from the other pages as this is the page that the artist from the main image is featured on. The writing is also bigger so it stands out.

Here it shows the front cover for the next week’s magazine. It also includes a small article talking about what is included in it. this is done so that the reader will want to buy the next issue.

The biggest image advertises one of the main articles in the magazine, just like on the two previous contents pages. On the photo it also says the page number and a small description of what it is talking about.

These are small descriptions and images of what is included on certain pages. These would be some of the main articles in the magazine.

Here is the title of the contents page and also a quote underneath it from an artist which some people may find interesting. This is done so the reader will want to read more and it says the page number of the interview to make people want to read it.

Here are the page numbers which shows what is on each page. Each contents page had the same way of laying this out. What is featured on the page and what page it is on. This is done in numerical order.
