CONTENTS PAGE ANALYSIS OF KERRANG! 2
The contents page consists of yellows, blacks, light greys and red, just like the cover page. Not only does this make the magazine look professional as it is following a house style, it also provides the edgy and dangerous vibe that a rock magazine should do. For example, along the right side of the magazine is a yellow and black stripped line, which looks similar to a police tape. Also, all of the images used seem to contribute towards the house style, especially the main images.
Unlike most, this contents page has two main images instead of one. Normally, the main image on the contents page is one of the most important articles inside the magazine. However, in this case it is two different band logos as the author does a review on both of these bands latest albums. This means that the bands are very popular within the rock music industry, so readers will wish to find out more about the new music released. This is a good way to advertise their albums.
This is a rather peculiar and different way to lay out what can be seen within the magazine. Normally, contents pages consist of a list going in numeric order so you can easily tell where to go to find a certain article. However, here you can see that the article is written within a small paragraph underneath a key heading. The pages do still go in numeric order, but the layout is quite unusual. Nevertheless, the sub-headings and page numbers are in bold to easily be seen.
