Kerrang Magazine - Contents Page Analysis

A black worn out looking circle in the top right hand corner contains the word ‘contents’ in a large white font size. The black background to the word ‘contents’ is used so that it stands out from the white background to the page. The editor of the magazine has written and signed a small paragraph about the issue flush left of the page, this is nice as the reader can compare their own thoughts on the issue of the magazine and allows the magazine to be a lot more down to earth and welcoming to the reader. A picture of the editor holding a megaphone up to his face has been included above the paragraph which links back to the feature article photograph on the front cover of ‘Sleeping with Sirens’.  There is a large photo at the top of the page flush left of a man crouching down and holding a microphone I can only guess that he is singing at a gig and he is crouching down to the audience. The issue number and cover date is provide in black and red at the top, flush left of the page above the main picture in the contents page. The three main articles have their page number provided in a large, white font covering a corner of the picture given for that article. A small paragraph about who helped to create the issue is provided at the bottom right hand side of the page, this is useful as it creates a slight connection between the reader and the creators of the magazine. The headlines feedback, news, features, shots, lives, albums, gig guide and the ultimate goblin test have been included in the contents page to help organise where each article is included in the issue, this is helpful for the reader as it makes it easy for them to find where each article is in the magazine.
