Contents Page Analysis - Kerrang!

The contents page for this magazine is layed out in an organised format with a clear skyline which establishes what it is, it also has a large image in the top left corner and the other pieces of information to the right and below of this.. The main image is the band 'Black Veil Brides' which immediately notifies the audience of the genre of the magazine and what is going to be inside of it and tells the audience that Black Veil Brides are the main focus of the magazine and are the stars of the cover. By having all the page numbers in red and the text in bold, black text is makes them stand out which makes it easier for the audience to see and helps them navigate and find out what is on what page of the magazine, down the side it also has a white background which makes the black text stand out even more. The headings for the contents of the magazine are in yellow with a black background which makes them stand out because they are useful for finding the different sections throughout the magazine. Although this contents page looks quite chaotic it is formally organised according to the conventions of a magazine contents page, for example the features and regulars are on the right hand side of the page to make it easy to navigate. The contents page does follow the convention of having three main colours that dominate the page, these colours are: black, yellow and white, by having three main colours it makes the page look professional. However, this magazine lacks a variety of images because it  only has one main image, which doesn't follow the convention of a typical music magazine because they usually have a variety of images that consists of different shot types of the band or its members and other bands, this is one reason why I wouldn't choose this magazine to base my music magazine on.
