Kerrang! Magazine contents page deconstruction



The masthead is positioned in the centre of the page, with the original ‘Kerrang!’ logo font. The colours used for the masthead are: a black background, the white kerrang! Logo, and a yellow sign that states ‘this week’. The cover date was the ‘08/05/10’ and is printed underneath the contents title at the top of the contents page. The issue number is also printed under the contents page. The website information is placed in the bottom right hand corner of the contents page, where there is also a chance to get magazine subscriptions each month.There isn't any different font styles on the contents page, the font is very much the same on every page. The main colour used on the contents page is black, most text is in black as well.The colours used on the contents page are black, yellow, white and red. The main image of the contents page is almost black and white, the other images are in colour. Black connotes mystery, death, sophistication, power. Yellow connotes warning, happiness, uplifting, and warming. Red connotes blood, love, danger, anger. White connotes innocence, purity, cleanliness. The main image on the contents page would the be male at the top of the page, and next to him there is what page number his featured article would be on. The other images on the contents page are a lot smaller than his is, there is a picture of the magazines editor attached to the editors note, this would make the reader feel as if they know the editor personally. The layout of the contents page is split into half, half with the picture, half with all of the jumplines telling the reader which page certain articles are on. The bottom of the page, all of the jumplines are set out in columns so its easier to read and follow along. I like the layout of this contents page, because it is simple to read. I want to make the layout of my contents page to be easily readable.
