8/13/2019 Magazine Three Contentssssssssss

1/1

Masthead -

Here, the masthead is the trademark NME logo. To

portray its presence and status on the page, the

designer has opted to place the vivid red lettering on

a black background to make it arguably, the most eye

catching aspect of the page. Once again it has been

placed at the top of the page, meaning it is one of

the ver first as ects the reader sees.

Drop Cap -

A drop cap is used at the start of the article. The bold,

black M is extremely eye catching and is used to entice

the reader towards the article. The colours used are simple

yet effective as the black writing on the white background

allows the text to stand out, especially the drop cap.

Wob -

A vast amount of Wobs are used on this particular

contents page to once again highlight the uniqueness

of the magazine and the artist. The theme of Wobs

has continued from the front cover and is used on

various different parts of the page. The most

noticeable Wob is at the very top of the page and

features on the running head. The large white lettering

on the black background allows the text to appear

clear and easy to read. A second example of a Wob

would be on the right hand side of the page. Each

subheading used features a Wob to continue the

theme across the entire page, giving it a balanced,

professional edge.

Running Head -

The running head is arguably one of the most crucial aspects of

the page. Not only is it extremely eye catching and noticeable, but

it is also extremely informative. The wording used on the running

head is extremely clever, as it does not need to use the words

contents for the reader to understand what i t is. The font used is

both large and bold and therefore shouts out to the reader,

making it noticeable. Once again a Wob has been used in order to

match the other aspects of the page. This matching effect gives

the page a neat, balanced and professional overall finish

Sub headings -

The subheadings are used to give the readers an earlyinsight into what else is featuring in the magazine. By

adding subheadings to the page, the reader is able to make

early opinions and thoughts on what they are about to read

in the near future. The subheadings also feature a Wob. By

adding a Wob to the subheadings, the designer

automatically makes the subheadings an important aspect

of the page, as other important pieces such as the running

head use a Wob also.

CVI -

Although there are arguably two CVIs on this

page, one stands out the most, this is of course

the main image. Not only is it in the very centre

of the page, but its size overwhelms every other

aspect of the page, making it the most noticeable

piece.

Colour Palette -

Once again, the colours used on this page are the three

most traditional printing colours. However, this page

features the addition of a vivid yellow which highlights a

certain aspect of the page. The advertising at the bottom of

the page uses the yellow lettering in order to make the

advertising noticeable, as without, it may be overlooked by

the readers. The use of a di fferent colour automatically

attracts the readers to the particular aspect because of its

uniqueness on the page. Once again the traditional yet

effective black, white and red have been used, giving this

magazine a professional, experience status.

Editorialise

On this particular contents page and editorialisehas been used, as the opening article has been

written in a persuasive, one sided tone. This

particular technique has been used in order to

make the featuring artist sound attractive, this

therefore makes the reader want to read on

and discover more about this artist.

Main Image

Similarly to the first example, the main image is situated in the

centre of the page, making it a hugely important feature and onewhich is extremely eye catching. The picture features Tom Meighan

and Sergio Pizzorno, the two main members of Kasabian. Both the

designer and the photographer have opted to use this particular

image featuring the two most known band members to portray to

the readers recognisable faces.The more recognisable the artist,

the more likely the reader is to be interested and the more likely

they are to read on.
