Contents of Kerrang!



Now I am going to analyse the contents page. In the contents page we see mostly pictures. Apart from that we have a colour scheme of yellow font that follows on from the front cover, and capital sans serif font. The san serif shows it is a modern, informal magazine. The colours are mostly yellow and red, bright colours that your eyes are drawn to, to give the contents page an impressive image.
There is a slightly larger image for the double page spread, showing it is a worthwhile and important feature of the magazine. There is a white background for the contents because it makes it simpler to look at and find what you need to see. This image in the contents page is an image obviously shot to look scary, we can tell by use of face paint in the picture, the colours red and black of danger, and their facial expressions look crazy. They are also eating food in th epicture, and it shows us perhaps the article will have something to do with food.
The layout is fairly easy to read with the contents table on the right side of the grid and a table of pictures related to key articles taking up a majority of the page. I think this is a good way of presenting the contents, because people can look for pictures of their favourite bands to find the pages about them. Mostly I think Kerrang! Is a very visual magazine, with lots of photos on every page, to stimulate a young audience. The contents page is a good example of this.
