Contents Page analysis of effects/colour schemes

This magazine contents page is very simplistic but effective, it uses a black and red colour scheme for text to emphasize the magazine, also it uses dark pictures giving it a rocky feel, with page references to where they are in the magazine, which assumes that the readers of the magazine know who the stars are, and therefore there is no text to go with the pictures. i believe i can incorporate the darker elements from these pictures into my magazine, to give my magazine a more obvious and specific genre.

This magazine contents page is crammed full of writing, showing the headings of sections in the magazine and then the main topics underneath these headings, also this magazine uses pictures with text underneath to highlight the important articles in the magazine. this magazine also has a message from the editor at the top, with the front cover of the magazine posted in the corner. the contents page has a yellow/black/ white colour scheme which is seen in its writing. i believe i could use a few smaller images on my contents page to break it up and show its more rock/metal genre, also i could use a quote at the top much like the one from Kirk Hammett.




this 'Reviews' contents page has many elements that i would like to incorporate into my contents page, such as the simple main image on the front, which clashes with the green white colour scheme. i also like the simplicity of this page as it has one main image, with a smaller one over the top at the bottom, and a simple plain list of what it has to offer. the main image incorporates the genre of rock/metal with the style of hair and clothing the people are wearing, also the girls dress clashes with the green to draw the readers attention to the image. also with the Reviews in a large font at the bottom of the page, it attracts the readers eye and makes it a more interesting read being positioned differently from a generic music magazine, also it helps the image as the faces aren't blacked by the writing which is the most important feature of the picture for the reader.
