Kerrang Contents Page Analysis

By the images used on the contents page you can tell what type of music the magazine is about and the audience you can tell this magazine aint a hip hop mag. I would say the targeted audience for this magazine was for ages from about 14-19 and it would attract people who like rock music.

The colours used on the contents page are dull/plain black, white yellow some of the pictures stand out but some blend in. The colours do match the front cover of Kerrang again black white and red. On the front cover the fonts are very plain again but understandable and bold and in Capitals on the contents page most the writing is Capitals and understandable and some words are writing in BOLD but that’s to attract the readers into seeing who’s going to be inside the magazine, but for the contents page I find the fonts a little Boring.

The Information on the contents page is well organised they don’t have writing ever where about loads of different things they have a little box at the top of the page with a picture of the front cover telling you some interesting information about Kerrang and what’s inside. There are 9 little pictures all the same size apart from one and page numbers so again this is telling you what’s inside the magazine and this could attract a lot of people and I think they chose the biggest picture maybe because it’s a big story or because they know most of there audience will buy the magazine because of him another thing they have to attract Buyers is they have a text box going down the page with what’s in this week’s Issue.

There is one promotional feature on the contents page about delivering Kerrang magazine to you door I think this is to the regular buyers that but Kerrang magazines no matter who is on the cover or what that issue has to offer.

The Magazine logo is not placed anywhere on the contents page
But there is a little picture of the front cover and the promotional feature which lets you know that its Kerrang otherwise you wouldn’t really know what magazine the contents page go with.

The overall style and design of the contents page does go with the front cover but the contents page is a little plain but overall they use the same style similar fonts that are understandable and bold and the colours go together well.
