Magazine Content page #1



KERRANG

The image on the left is a contents page from a Kerrang issue. The page is laid out in a simple form where images are on one side and the listings are on the other which presents an easier way to find the article that you’re interested in. The images of various artists are set out in a row of 3 with the icon of the page number on the top left corner of each image. The genre of this cover is Rock as you can view from the images on the left of various bands such as Bullet For My Valentine and Fall Out Boy.
The colours used on this content are between two, yellow and black. The yellow highlighted titles bring an immediate attention to the topic; this can attract readers to read on what is expected in the magazine such as the “THIS WEEK” heading, it’s an immediate spotlight, giving the readers a sneak peak on what’s inside.
The information in the magazine are organised with images of bands and artist that are included in the issue covered over the page with the topic and page icon underneath each images for an easier access onto what they want to read. The different section ranges from reviews, news, gigs updates and many more with each topic including the famous gossip behind a rock star. The contents page reviews that the magazine is based on rock music and it also shows that the magazine is a regular magazine where updates are released on monthly bases, it also view a suitable magazine for readers who are involved with music especially rock and of the age group from 14+.
The promotions included an offer for a £6 per month contract of updated Kerrang issues straight to your door which saves you from travelling to the stores or missing the last copy, you’ll receive your copy through your front door.
The logo of the magazine titles does not appear on the content page except for the front cover image of the Kerrang release on the top left corner but it does not show any immediate attraction to it.
It also does not include any franchise advertised on the contents page but occasionally the magazine involves a free music CD.

Comparing Kerrang with CLASH music, it includes older groups and artist such as Jay-Z, Hot Chip and Yeasayer.
