Analysis of Music Magazine Contents Page.
The main feature
and the most
important band is
shown in the central
image and its
feature. Also, its
feature overlaps the
image, drawing
attention to it;
showing the readers
where they can find
out about the band
in the image.
All the features
are clearly laid out
on the side of the
contents page. By
doing this in an
organised manor,
with contrasting
colours to make
the text bold, it
allows it to stand
out and show the
reader clearly
what content the
magazine offers.
The different features are laid out through
borders, colours and sub-headings. The three
groups of features are clearly shown as ‘OASIS
SPECIAL’ ‘EVERY MONTH’ and ‘FEATURES’. By
organising this in such a away, it allows the
reader to find specifically what they want to
read, making the magazine easily accessible.
Through the use of
colour, the magazine
manipulates what the
reader should think is
the most important
part of the magazine
or most interesting
article. This is used in
the ‘Oasis Special’
feature, which is
written and bordered
partly in gold. The
connotation of gold is
wealth and
represents the
superiority of
someone. Therefore
by representing Oasis
in gold, it shows that
they are a ‘superior’
band and that that
feature is the most
important one. It also
creates a brand
identity, and
consequently shows
the magazine itself to
be superior.
Different features and types of
content are separated through
colours, bordering and boxes. In this
case, it is done by using a blue
background for the text and boxing.
By doing this throughout the
contents, it shows that there is
many different things for the reader
to read, showing that there is
something appealing for everyone.
It also makes the page appear busy
and therefore suggests that thee
magazine is full of content and
worth the money the reader has
paid.
