Contents Analysis


NME Contents Analysis

The title on this page is very big and describes perfectly what the page is explaining and is very bold and eye catching. The page shows 8 photos that all have a caption next to them, this works well as it explains what is going on in different parts of the magazine, this is a feature that I like as it is better than just having a list that shows what is going on. A lot of different texts are used on the page, although there is not one reoccurring font i think this works well because it keeps you entertained and wanting to read it because it looks different to what you have read before. The page layout is quite full, in this case i think that it works well in this example and looks good, but in some cases it can make the page look cluttered. There is not a lot of colour used on this page, only the pictures are in colour, I think this works well as it keeps in simple and stripped down, but also can look a bit plain and boring in some cases, but I think that in this instance it works well and looks good.




MOJO Contents Analysis

This contents has a very clear title but instead of saying 'contents' or something similar to that is just says the title of the magazine again. This is neither an advantage or disadvantage as it is clear that the page in question in the contents as it has page numbers and says things about articles in the magazine. There is only one image on the page and it is in black and white. I think that this works very well as it allows the text that is coloured in red to stand out boldly next to the black text. The picture is also focused in on the face so you can see the person but the background is blurred, this works well as it seems to add layers and levels to the page. The fact that the text is only in two colours, black and red, makes the parts of text that are in red stand out very well, i likt this feature a lot. The layout of the page is very open and there is a lot of space on the page with no text on to allow the image to be shown through and the part of the image that is in focus has not text on it or really near to it so that it is able to be seen and becomes one of the main parts of the page and one of the first things you see when you look at the page and all of the different features on it.




Rolling Stone Contents Analysis

The Title on this page is quite small but it still stands out from the rest as it is coloured in white against a red background, this works well although I do think it could be a little bit larger. I think that having the 3 images on the left side of the page works well they are all large and clear and show what is happening in the magazine and could make people want to read on after seeing a picture of their favorite artist or topic. The images also have numbers on them referring to what page that the article connected to the picture is on. The colour scheme for this page is red, white and black, I think that this works well as the white background let the red and black text stand out from the page and make it easily readable. The layout of the page is quite full and the text is reasonably small, I think it would have worked better if the text was larger so that it can be read easier. I think that the red and black text work well as any text that is coloured in red stands out from the rest. This makes it easier to see the text and also identifies important bits of information about key things going on in the magazine.
