Contents page decontruction

 

Masthead	This masthead of the contents page from the magazine ‘Drummer’ has a very different layout compared to the previous contents page magazine which I have researched. The masthead is printed in a black bold font, contrasting with the white background. It is positioned at the top left hand side of the contents page
Necessary Information	This contents page is very much image led, although the essential information for a magazine is positioned down the left side of the page, easily displaying what pages feature which parts of the magazine
Text	The text falls down the left hand side of the page, although there is few texts compared to images, it has included the essential information a contents page magazine needs such as what page numbers feature which parts of the magazine. Sub headings are also included to allow the reader to navigate where the ‘featured’ section is of the magazine. There is also a ‘regulars’ section and ‘exclusive’ parts marked on the contents page, which is eye catching to the reader.
Font	There is a running colour scheme featured on this contents page, as it is predominately black, white and red, which relates to the main colour scheme of the magazine. The images are also labelled as to where certain bands will be featured throughout the magazine, making it quick and easy to navigate throughout. Underneath the features of the magazine, there are is a sentence which is giving a preview of the story featured on that page.
Images	This magazine contents page is very image led. It features six images which five of them are labelled with page numbers. There does seem to be a main image surrounded by other images which may give an indication of which will be the main story in the magazine. The image angels range from a wide shot, to a close up.
Composition	This magazine is very much image led, with the text organised on the left side of the page.
Colour	The colours of this magazine are very bold; making is very eye catching as a lot of the colours are contrasting to each other. The main image is framed as a wide shot in order to see the whole of the artists and their drums.
