Do you like my magazine? XD

Tuesday, 2 December 2008

Contents page analysis two:


The main feature is a large square surrounded by smaller squares. The top square being the largest draws the most attention to it which shows it is the main story which needs the most attention. The image is the band biffy clyro; the lead singer is in a pose that connotes flamboyance and showing off and we can gather he is saying ‘look at me’ with that pose which connotes the ego of famous people and suits being a main image in a magazine.

The colours are black, white and yellow. The font is the same as the front cover which relates the two as does the colour scheme. The black and white connotes the rock and roll world in being gothic and dark yet the yellow brings vibrance to the page which connotes that rock and roll is not dull and depressing.

This contents page is very neat and organised; there is nothing to confuse you and every picture has an anchorage text. This connotes neatness and organisation in the magazine.

There is a promotion on the page about getting the magazine delivered to your door, it denotes the company has the customer’s convenience in mind and the promotion being red is eye catching and attracting most attention because it differs from the colour scheme which connotes that this promotion needs attention and it is so good that it has to be a different colour.

There is no logo present on the page which connotes that they want your attention to focus on the stories and promotion as a logo steals attention away which also connotes that they value their stories over their logo and think they are the best thing to focus your attention on. Also because the colour scheme and font ties in with the front cover there is no need to link the two using a logo.

The page does not promote any other products which connotes that they want you to focus completely on the magazine.

Kerrang keeps their pages cohesive by the colour scheme and font and also the square images; this shows that they are organised and united.
