contents annalysis (Kerrang)

their are multiple images which are mainly page previews of the content inside the magazine. the title is quite noticeable as it is a very visible colour against a contrasting background. yellow signifies danger and warning which are words associated with rock and metal music. there is a small passage from the editor which makes the relationship between the creation of the magazine much more personal. the main three colours of the contents page are yellow, white and black. White and black are used quite often in music magazines. i think this is because they compliment each other without giving out any unwanted connotations.
the enlarged titles which separate some page descriptions makes those certain articles stand out and makes you want to read them. these titles also push the freebies in the magazine such as the posters. there are also small graphics saying cover story which looks a bit like something you would find in a woman's lifestyle magazine and cheapens it slightly but makes it eye catching. i don't know weather i would put this on my magazine but i will see if its something which would work with my style. there is also a plug for weekly subscription in the bottom right hand corner which would create more profit for the magazine. i think it looks quite busy but isn't. the conflicting colours confuse this eye and with a 50/50 split to the page gives your eye alot to look at. i would like my contents to be a mixture between Rocksounds contents page and this contents page.
