Contents Page Deconstruction


Masthead
The masthead is half way down the page just above where the page numbers and titles are. It is the usual logo for Kerrang! Magazine, in the same font style and size. I am going to put the masthead of my magazine on the contents page too.
Text
The text is mainly describing what is on each page. except for the column on the left of the page. It would only be understood by regular Kerrang! Magazine readers as there is abbreviations and colloquialisms that only fans know the meaning of.
Font
The text is all in capitals, because that is the style of the magazine. All font is the same throughout the whole magazine, it doesn't change. The titles are in larger, bold writing, so that they stand out from the rest of the text.
Images
There are six images used on this page, but only one of them stands out. The main image is much larger than the others and it takes up more room than the rest. The others are small and dotted about the page, not taking up too much room. There is writing over some of the pictures, but not too much so the image is still visible. I don't think I am going to use writing over my images, just so that they are clear to see.
Composition
The page is set out quite well and the text is easy to read. The images suite the purpose of the magazine and they match the context of the text too. The main image takes up half of the page, and the text takes up the other half, I think this looks well balanced and its nice to look at, I might use this in my magazine.
Colour
Including the images, there is a variety of colour, but the colour scheme of the actual magazine is black, white, red and yellow. The main image is very different to the others, its main colour is blue and this makes it stand out more, I like it. The colours give the magazine a range of colours and it has a brilliant effect.
