KERRANG MAGAZINE CONTENTS PAGE

Colours:the main colour in the contents page is white which shows up the black writing really well and makes the pictures stand out better than on a black background for example.Yellow is occasionaly used to make headings and borders which breaks up the picture and makes it a bit more colourful.

Design:small pictures are all over the page with the heading underneath them giving a brief entale into what the picture means and relates to.their is headings on the right of the page focusing on each section of the magazine and then grouping certain storys and reviews into that section.The font used is a very bold basic font which is easy to see but makes a statment none the less,the colour for the writing used s yellow which reflects the over al house style of the magazine.

Images:images of the band related to the story underneath are shown,they are generally just a image of the band themselves or the lead singer standing against a chosen background making gestures or facial expressions.The pictures of the band represents them as cool/famous which makes people want to read the article on them as most people want to know what goes on in famous peoples lifes.

pose,style,hair,make-up:The image of the bands is metal influenced due to men with long hair,people with lots of tattoos and piercings.the poses they are in as well such as corey tailor in the mask grasping towards the camera gives the impression of violence which is established by the scary mask he is wearing.

How are the words used:lots of headings are used to show you whats inside the magazine such as reviews and storys,they are then accompanied by smaller headings below them giving them a bit more detail of whats on that page.The contents of whats in the magazine can be easily identified looking at the contents age from a distance as the pictures are accompanied by big bold words which tell you briefly what on that page.

Language:the language used is very basic and straight to the point so the reader knows immediatly what the main focus of the article is.The use of this langauge grabs readers attention as it is their kind of language so it is quick and easy to recognise.

overall impression:I think the contents page shows very well whats inside the magazine by giving a mixture of pictures accompanied by text.It does a brilliant job of giving a representation of the famous people inside by giving them eye grabbing sub headings and cool photos.You can see from this page that the magazine is aimed souly at people who like metal music and it would not be read by people who like pop music for example. The readers inrest are represented very well by the photos that they love to see and the quick and easy language used in the magazine.
