Music Magazine Contents Pages


On this contents page from Vibe you can see a picture of two artists who are probably the main story in the issue ans that is why they take up the whole of the page, also to the left of them is the other stories from the issue and their page number and to the top left is the word contents which is layed out different to all other magazines showing that is is Vibe magazine. There is no scolour scheme as it is just black writing on a white beckground which is probably to make you focus on the picture and not the text. The fonts make the title of the page stand out because the font saying whats on the pages has curves and the font saying contents doesnt have any curves.
 
This contents page from the magazine NME has a big picture in the middle of Kasabian with their name as the biggest headline showing the reader that this is the main story in the magazine and it also has a short introduction to why they are the main story. Also on the right side their is the other news and stories in the magzine and their page numbers and the band index is on the left. Another feature on this contents page is the advert to subscribe to the magazine which isnt on other contents pages that i have seen. The contents also has a colour scheme which is black, white and red and it is most likely because these are the colours on the NME part of the magazine.


This contents page from a magazine shows the main person in it as Kanye West it shows this by making him take up most of the page being the only thing that stands out, but the main thing that stands out is the heart being held to him, this is because it it the only thing on the page that is not it black and white, The background also stands out with the V shape this could be the name of the magazine or the magazines initials. This contents page has all of the features on the right side of the page and it has the information about Kanye West next to the picture. Also on this page the way contents is written it isn't all on the same line which is the same with every issue of this magazine.



This contents page from the magazine Q has a picture of a band that has their name, the page number and some text about why their in the magazine. The fact that they are the biggest picture and their name is the biggest shows us that they are the main band in the issue. This contents page also has a good colour scheme which is red black and white. It also uses different fonts and whether the writing is bold or not to highlight different sections of the page, for example the word Contents is bigger and bolder than all of the other words to show what page it is, and where it says Oasis Special it is a different font to the rest of the page. The layout of the the page has all of the stories on the left side of the page and the main story taking up most of the page with a picture on the right, It also has a review at tomorrow and the date in the top right of the page.
