ANALYSIS OF CONTENTS PAGE 2 (Oct 2008)

Main image is of the mainband featured in the magazine,this is there to let the reader know who it is about and what page they are on.

This is a mini-contents for the review section of the magazine which has reviews of different DVDs, albums, books etc. so we know what page the reviews are on and what they are about.

The subheadings of the contents are in white on a red background. This follows the colour scheme of the magazine and is the same colours as the logo.

This section of the contents page is formatted differently to the rest of it, this is because it is to show the Oasis special part of the magazine. This makes it stand out more and seem like the reader is getting something extra for free.

The top banner has the issue number, date, title and websites for the magazine. This is so the reader knows when the magazine was published and how to find more about them online.

An extra bit about the band – a quote from the singer’s mom to make the reader feel closer to the band. This is over the picture in large font to make it stand out.
