2. The main image is normally the
largest picture on the page and
reflects an article that is in the
magazine. Also, the people in
the image are usually having
direct eye contact with the
reader which is welcoming and
creates a bond between the
magazine and the audience.
Furthermore, the main image
on a contents page also
suggests what type of
magazine it is.
3. The cover page also
includes page numbers
in chronological order
and are usually bigger
than the text to clearly
show where the story/
article is. Interestingly,
beside the number
they do not have
‘Page/Pg’ next to it
which connotes that
the audience
understands what the
number means.
4. The masthead of this cover page has the
magazines logo on it which can reveal how well
know the logo is because when reading the
magazine it will always be there and will then be
recognisable to the reader. Also, on the
masthead the ‘contents’ has been applied to
make it clear that it is the contents page.
5. The cover page also has a website on the bottom to make
sure the reader knows where to find out more about the
magazine and be able to go and buy monthly
subscriptions. Furthermore, the magazine also has the
date/ month it came out along the bottom so that the
readers know that a month later the next issue will be
released.
6. The magazine also
includes a colour scheme
of black, white and red.
They have only used
three colours to make
sure that it looks
sophisticated and less
cluttered. Also, the
magazine may have used
these colours to
represent the genre of
music the magazine talks
about, which in this case
could be indie/rock.
7. The magazine also
includes 2 columns to
make everything more
organised and in its place.
This is so the audience is
able to read the
information clearly.
Nevertheless, the two
columns are mostly split
up into pictures and
writing.

8. The cover page also includes subsidiary
images. These are used to show what else
is in the magazine other than the main
article.
9. The typography consists of
just two fonts throughout
the contents page to make
it look more sophisticated
and less messy. Also, all of
the page numbers on the
contents page are in
chronological order, which
is used so that it looks
more organised. The page
numbers on a contents
page are also normally a
different colour to the
other text so that it is more
visible and so that the
reader knows where to
look for each article.
10. Furthermore, the
magazine also uses
subheadings to show the
audience what else is on
offer to read about and
discover inside. Initially,
under the subheadings
features text about the
articles which gives the
reader even more insight.
11. On the other hand, on
the contents page it
is normally slit up
into 2-3 columns (On
this one 3). This is
used to make
everything appear
more organised and
so that the audience
knows where to look
and what is trying to
be said so the page.
