Contents Page


The style of this magazine contents page of Kerrang! is laid out quiet basic so its quick and easy to read and find certain pages clearly on the right hand side of the page you have the page numbers with brief information to let you know what you can see or find on that certain page . Then on the left of that you have a promotion which is promoting a band by pretty much saying if you enter the competition you can go to there gig and meet the band. Then clearly at the top you have the magazine logo with the issue no and the cover data this information is letting you know its the lastly magazine and has been issued. The design is very rock by the picture of the band which is a long shot to get there full appearance in of what they look like you can tell instantly by the tattoos the long wacky hair the chains and leather clothing what the magazine target audience is and what to expect. Also the colours that are used within the contents page are quiet rock with the yellows black and reds all associate with rock colours such as black is the main colour that resembles rock so that's probably why they have chosen the colours to fit in with the theme and culture. The font on the contents page is quiet rough looking which gives that rock feel to the page.

The language which is used in this magazine article is very snappy and formal tyring to catch your attention straight away to make you want to read more of what is inside the magazine. They do this by giving you bits of the article which are probably the most interesting and important and they leave it on a cliffhanger. or even by having a puns in a short bit of information to make you think why have they put that in? They will try and do anything to attract your attention to try and make you read the magazine .

The colours that are used in these contents page are very strong and contrasting colours such as the black strips are eye catching because its a strong colour that draws you eyes to what they want you to see along with that they have the page number going down the side in red to make sure that they stand out so its not hard to find them as if they were in black with all the over font it wouldn't stand out and catch your attention. They also have the main topics in sections to make these stand out on the black strip they have put the font on top in yellow which is a strong contrast of colours which makes the yellow stand out and catches the eye to make you focuses on that part of the magazine. Then lastly the colour scheme for the contents page is the same colours as the front cover page so there is a theme through out the magazine to link it in with the magazine.
