This is the contents page from mixmag, a DJ

magazine.

Having looked at previous contents pages I see that a

common convention is that there are 3 main images

with page numbers of the artists in them, they are the

main appeal of that edition of the magazine. Another

one is that the background is white whilst the text is

pink, black and yellow, breaking the 3 colour rule.

It has lots of varying fonts for different headers, the

page numbers and articles, the VIP section within the

magazine means that the reader get the impression that

they are the VIP and are privy to information that is

exclusive,

Contents Analysis

This is the contents page from NME a English rock

magazine.

Having looked at previous contents pages I see that a

common convention is the image at the centre is

related to the cover and is usually what's “hot” at that

time. Another one is that the background is the colour

pallet and the band index allowing readers to skip to

their preferred bands and the right hand side is the

usual contents layout of any magazine.

At the bottom they have a subscription offer that

implies that they are attempting to gather more readers

and money.

Contents Analysis

This contents page makes the artist the main feature

as she takes up most of the space on the page and is

the first thing you see.

The writing is what could be classed as “classy” which

implies that what shes doing is classy as well, due to its

size it means that your attention is drawn to the

woman even more so.

It has lots of varying fonts as well as colours, it follows

the 3 colour rule as her outfit matches the colour

featured in the page. The use of different fonts makes

different parts of the article eye catching.
