Issue Date

The left hand Column- The drummers have placed copy on here so it catches audiences attention.it don’t use informal language on this contents page as the target audience group for this magazine is between 25-35.Also the page numbers stand out with a different font and colour to make it easier to find the page.‘Contents ;’which stands out the audience on what the page is based on, as these type of magazines are based on teenager which are likely to be inpatient, so scheme read through it.Font- The Drummer’ don’t really stand out with the font colours its very carm, I believe this is due to the target audience as its based on adulthood. The main colour in this magazine which highlights the main points would be red for useful outputs.Main Image- conforms to the masthead in the contents page.All the pictures on the contents page all relate to the master head and as the largest image portrays the meaning of the contents page. Also the layout of this contents page is rather based on images rather the language.so this may influence readers as it shows viewers the artist are on what pages which tends to encourage readers to read it.

Regular would influence readers who normally buy this magazine and let them find out new stories, this would encourage them to buy it every week.

Similarity:They both use similar colours in the contents pages on the written concept. The column section is shown to be in the same place in both which I believe it catches peoples attention and are likely to look on the same direction when going through a contents page in a music magazine. They both have a issue date which shows it is reliable. They both contain ‘contents’ to be in bold letters so achieving the role of being eye catching to the readers. The main image is also placed in the same place which may show that people are use to looking at the picture on the right hand side.

Differences:I believe the Q is more encouraging in words rather than drummers as drummers is based on pictures on what page each item is on rather then Q which has contents which is more persuasive than Drummers. Q has a sell/ slogan line which catches the audiences attention unlike the drummers where it portrays it through pictures , regarding the target audience the drummers are not using persuasive writing which is needed. The master head in Q is much more small unlike drummer where its placed in big font so readers can identify what type of music magazine it is.
