This contents page has a simple layout and is more formal than most music magazines. Instantly you are drawn to the sub heading ‘DRUMMER’ the magazine has done this to let target audience know that there is information in the magazine about drummers, this is supported by the image of a drum kit next to the image, also this links in with there being lots of images of drums on the page.

The target audience is drawn to the image in the centre of the page as it is the biggest picture on the page, this instantly emphasises the title of the magazine and one of the main features.

Each image is numbered up with what page that it is on, this is a good feature as each one of the page numbers is wrote down the side of the page giving you the information about the image, saving the reader having to go to the page to find out what it is about.

The images change sizes on the page, this could show the importance of the images compared to others.

This is a well laid out magazine contents page and is very easy to follow as the images are laid out with what page the feature is on and also it has the text down the sides telling you what pages certain things are on.

The colour scheme is very simple but it is effective, with the yellow, black and white. It is a well recognised magazine so they keep the same colours and style as it attracts the target audience.

The main image would attract the target audience as it is a strange picture and the reader will instantly be attracted to that image. This also shows that the big image is the main feature of the magazine with the smaller images surrounding

It’s a very formal contents page considering the genre is rock, this is a good feature as it might appeal to a wider range of people.

This magazine is very well laid out and looks sophisticated but is very easy to follow.

The masthead stands out ‘THIS WEEK’ it shows that the magazine is current and up to date which is what the readers want.

Also the image is of two people from oasis, this is a good image to have as the band is very popular and very good, it also relates to the subheading which is on the middle of the page. The colour scheme is good

as the text stands out, the black with the white writing makes the black look more bold.

On this left hand side it gives information on the bands which is good as it gives you an insight into who they are if you don’t already know.

The advertising shows that the magazine is comfortable with putting it in as they don’t need the space and it is not off putting for the reader, and because so many people buy the magazine, the advertising is good and will help the magazine to make more money by putting this onto the page.
