Kerrang! Contents Page Analysis

This is an analysis of a Kerrang! contents page. This page does feature some things which are similar to my previous content page analysis. The "contents" heading clearly wants to stand out so the colour of the background and font is different to the miniature articles on the page. The same technique applies for the sub-headings which features in NME too - in the sub-headings, there are sub-headings, which makes it easier for the reader to navigate throughout the magazine to find articles which interest them the most.

Along with the highlighted sub-sub-headings, underneath the main article they have numbers that contrast to stand out and smaller pictures relevant to the captions underneath. These help convince the reader to read these articles. Like all contents pages, there is a larger picture which is the main story featured in the magazine.

Once again, like the contents page of NME - highlighted down the bottom right hand side is an advertisement for the subscription for Kerrang! magazine. It is in a different font and colour scheme to draw attention to itself to intise the reader.

However, this contents page differentiates to the NME one because up the top left hand corner, there is a personalised note from the editor of Kerrang! - this could possibly encourage more readers because it makes the contents more personal to the reader, and lets the reader know that any suggestions made will be read by a member of the editorial staff. In the top right hand corner, there is a different quote in every issue which is slightly comical. This suggests the magazine has an enjoyable and entertaining theme to it.
