1. It is a convention of Kerrang to
use a yellow on black text
colour scheme on their contents
pages. They contrast well
together and immediately grasp
the attention of an audience.
The font has been used to stick
in with the conventional feel of
rick, as it is slightly distorted and
looks messy.
More images showing what else
is featured in the magazine give
the reader a taster so that they
find out enough information to
want to find out more. These
images are small scale and just
give a ‘taster’ of what else is
included.
A personal editors letter has
been featured to give more of
an insight into the issue. It has a
more personal touch which
audience like.
The main image on the cover
page is of Slash who’s name is
featured clearly just under the
image. This allows the reader to
keep in with the issues theme
and find out more about this
particular artist. His clothing
and style matches his
personality and what rock is all
about, it most likely relates to
the image on the cover and will
be conventional throughout the
rest of the magazine.
More images and potential
competition prizes. All to
persuade a customer to
participate or continually
purchase the magazine. And
more lists of what is featured in
the magazine as this is the main
convention of any magazine
contents page. The font and
colour of text sub headings is inkeeping with the rest of the
magazine contents theme.

2. House style, colour scheme
and fonts. This makes the
magazine feel familiar to the
reader and stays on topic.
The magazine title is
featured to possibly promote
the magazine more and to
become a more recognisable
logo.
The date is a convention of a
magazine contents page and
also sometimes the issue
number.
The image also ties in with
the music genre, it is main
and central and immediately
stands out. It may link to the
cover and an article
somewhere else in the
magazine. Also their name
and the relevant page
number is featured to make
it easier for the reader.
Subheadings in bold so that
the reader can pick out
specific points of interest
quickly and simply.

Advertisements and deals
featured to entice the reader
perhaps. Also fills up space
on the page.
The whole layout is split into
arguably three columns for
order and easy navigation
around the page and the rest
of the magazine.
The contents page explains what is inside the
magazine and acts as a form of navigation
around the magazine by featuring page
numbers on where certain articles can be
found.
The whole page is very busy
and there is little free space,
this is very conventional of
contents pages and could be
due to the genre of music.
