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.
