Content page analysis

Images

The images on ‘KERRANG’ content page shows artist that they will be featuring in the magazine. Most of the images are not done in high quality shoots as if it would be on the front cover. For example some of them are just token from a live gig. The images all show the kind of bands that the magazine would feature and the music genre.

Font, Colour and LanguageThe fonts used on the content are very clear and easy to read, also is more structured unlike the front cover. The inform colour is yellow and black: both very bold and alluring. The background on the yellow fonts are black and the background on the black font are yellow this is a very clear and good contrast, which makes it easy to read. Also the colours are appropriate for the style of the magazine . The other sub main articles are accompanied with a picture of the band showing some importance and eye catching .

AdvertsThe adverts go in well with the magazine, they are about some of the bands that the magazine issue, so this would be interesting for the target audience.

The idea of having the front cover on the content page is good because is reminds the reader of what they are reading and instead of them going back to look at the font cover they can just see it there on the corner.

Banner. The banner here is in bold black background which shows the name of the magazine well. the date of the issue was released, and the ‘NME This Week', shows the readers that there is a new edition released every week, alerting them that they can buy it every week. The word ‘NME’ is written in like the mast head and in red but the ‘THIS WEEK’ is written in white which is a contrast to the black background and stands out.

The main picture has some stories about it in bigger text to give information about the UK gigs and tours, and how they were received/reviewed. It is not done in a high quality shoot which shows that the magazine is kind of laid back and more ‘real’

The large text draws attention to the start of the article also makes them worth reading it, as not a lot of music magazine have the start of an article on the contents page.

The different sections helps the reader to find out thing more easily, and know what the story/article will be about.

on the left side of the page shows a column of red text which is the band index. This is helpful to the reader to find things easier.

Adverts. The adverts that are shown are to promote the magazine, so that the readers would buy it even more

On the bottom test part there is a quote written in red that alerts the reader which makes it as a direct speech to them

The number ‘235’ is written in red which again is one of the colour scheme, this is showing importance because is the column it is the only thing written in red and it makes it stand out because is in numbers too.

The main image There is only one main medium close-up shot of an artist making it more in focus. This could be on the cover too because of the quality of the shoot. The artist is looking straight at the reader making the picture very profound and expressive. His clothes fits in well with the colour-scheme of the magazine and the hairstyle complements the issue’s style.

This content page has a uniform colours of grey, black and red which underlines and links with the brand. The sections are well-form and easy to know and so are titles which are written in bigger bold text than the rest showing the significance of them. The numbers are printed in a opposing colours to the others, this makes it more easily to observed.

The month typed in ‘FEB06’ makes the magazine more modern and young which will appeal the target audience and make them feel like part of the magazine
