Analysis of music magazine contents page.

Magazine Contents Page Analysis.

There are many features that contribute to a successful contents page. I have analysed a specific music magazine and the devices presented are important in informing and persuading the readers to continue.
There are many pictures displayed though main ones are more prominent either by size or location in the layout. For example the main picture on the contents page is of 4 electric guitars, which are lined up and cover half the page. This draws in the focus of the reader and may have a link to the cover story. The consistency and links of articles satisfies the reader.
It also features sub-headings in bold red and white outlined boxes. These stand out and are easily readable. Tag lines are included in clear black font, which compliments the background making it easily comprehensible and convenient. Symbols are also used this creates a memorable feature as well as a trademark colour palette or theme. Page numbers are also used so that readers can easily find particular articles and captions underneath images help to display what the magazine includes.
