Kerrang! Contents Page.
Kerrang! Has used images in their Contents Page; they have constructed the images by placing them in squares to make them stand out, adding to this effect there are 8 smaller images framing a larger image, from this we can assume the larger image is the main sell line. Each image has been assigned its own page number for the reader to find the page consisting of the storyline on which the image is based and each image has a subtitle giving the reader an insight to what the page is about. We can assume that the overall style of the magazine is a Rock Magazine just from the images used, for example the largest image shows a man with attitude, he’s arms are covered in tattoo’s and he is supporting a rude hand gesture. All the other images show artists at their gigs performing, one of the smaller images show the front cover of an album ‘AC/DC’, from this we can tell it’s a rock magazine as AC/DC is a traditional, well-known rock band. Its intended audience 14-20yr olds, we can tell this from the language used throughout the magazine and the fact that you cannot enter a gig unless you re 14 or above.
The Colour Scheme of this particular Contents Page is White, Black, Yellow with a tiny bit of Red in the bottom right-hand corner. Black and White are contrasting colours, this is an advantage to any magazine as it looks professional and automatically attracts the audience’s attention. The subtitles and the main page numbers are printed in Yellow with a Black background, this is used to draw in the audience’s attention and stands out from the typical Black and White colour scheme. Kerrang! Has decided to use more than just the typical basic font styles such as Arial and Times New Roman. Both the colour scheme and the font styles used in the contents page correspond with the front cover.
The information is organised so that it is easily accessible to the audience, the main information is supported by an image, page number and a small annotation. The rest of the information is listed under sections, these sections are: Feedback, News, Live Reviews, Features, K! Icons, Album Reviews, Gigs, Swag and Famous Last Words.
This tells us that Kerrang! is passionate about music and all it entitles, they have covered everything from the latest news, to reviews, to (the time and places of) gigs.
The promotional features of this particular issue is that you can order Kerrang! magazine strait to your door for only £6 per month.
The graphical features that are used to draw attention to the magazine’s special features are images.
The Kerrang! logo isn’t placed anywhere on there contents page accept for on the image of the front cover on the top left-hand corner, so in a way the logo has been placed on the page but it is hardly dominant.
The brand has so other franchises promoted on this page so we can assume that in actually fact Kerrang! has no other franchises outside of the magazine.
We can conclude that the overall style and design of the contents page is relevant to the magazine’s front cover as they correspond well with one another; following the same colour scheme, using the same font styles, relevant images and information.
