Contents page - (1)Kerrang

Contents page analysis 



This contents page is in a block format, creating an impact and punk style. Also the font style is very clear and therefore easy to read.
There is also a colour scheme, throughout the contents page of yellow, black and read.
The contents is located on the right hand side. I like the common colour theme through there also.It uses yellow for the title of the subject and black for the background, and red for the number and black for the topic.

The image is located to the left of the screen and fills up a lot of the page.
Also on the contents page there is win a prize opportunity - however I don't think id use this on my own magazine as I believe it makes it look a bit less professional and classy.


But they link the competition to the band ; 'Metallica kill e'm with vans!',this benefits the reader as they have the opportunity to benefit  more than just buying a magazine.

I like the text at the bottom of the page, as it gives an insight into the magazine editor and offers a relationship between the reader and editor.I really like this idea because in a way its like an artist explaining their work,which makes the magazine more special.I will definitively consider using it in my magazine.

Double page spread -(2) NME - Mark Ronson

Double page spread NME - Mark Ronson  I like how the title spreads across two pages and may consider to do this for my own magazine page.I feel like it is a good way to bring all the conventions of the page together and links them e.g the image, title, and text. It also is good as it makes the reader look at both pages therefore catching their eye, due to them having to read the title from one side of the page to the other. I would like to pick out a piece of the interview and put the letters in bold and a bigger size, something of interest or a statement. I like how the image takes up a whole page and has props that are interesting and relate to the title.E,g - hammer- relates to the revenge.

Contents page -(1) just magazine

Contents page- Just a magazine (unknown)   I like the use of imagery and horizontal across two pages.With the images above the titles od each section in the magazine. Im not entirely sure but the images may be relating to one of the titles from each column. I like this idea and it gives a simplistic, yet arty feel to the page. I like how the contents gows across teo pages as it dosent feel as squashed, and comes across artistic in this way.Also it is different to standard layout making it alternative which could relate to the music genre I am focusinf on (Indie).I may use this in my own magazine

Front Cover (3) NME - Joe strummer

Image
Front cover  This magazine is mainly dedicated to Joe Strummer .It refers to him as a 'punk icon'. Thus enticing punk lovers and the rest of society to be interested in this magazine especially.  I like the use of the black and white main image of Joe Strummer (when he was young).It gives a nostalgic feel to the magazine, and comes across very stylish and classic. I like the way NME really personalise the front cover to the image and ties it in with the rest of the theme,titles,etc.  Yet again they have used a bold statement for a quote of Jo Strummer:' Don't write slogans write truths'- this ties in with Joe Strummer being highly respected in the music industry and seen as a classic and wise that he is able to make these bold, wise statements. The statement adds in with the style of this magazine, as being bold classic and at times nostalgic. I like however how the nostalgic side of this image is mixed with the bold and colourful font of
