This is the contents page of a well know music magazine called Kerrang! It uses well structured composition and a clear headline of “Contents”. This is quite a well balanced page as of the layout of the image and text.

The contents page doesn’t seem to have much use of colour as the background is white and the text is in black which gives it quite a plain look. However the use of the yellow and the black together for the headline and for the coverlines too catches the readers eye as the two colours together are bold and stand out from everything else.

There are many images on this contents page and they all seem to portray rock music to the audience mainly because of the shot types and what the people in the images are wearing. The larger image on the left hand side catches the readers attention more than the other ones which could suggest that he is the main story in this issue of the magazine.

This contents page is quite useful to the readers as the composition of it makes it clear to read and easy to understand and follow. The bold page numbers and coverlines also help with this too.
