Contents page analysis 5

Kerrang magazine

This is a complete contrast of Q and mixmag’s layout for there contents pages.

I did some research into more picture based contents pages and found that in my opinion do not work as well. I think the layout looks messy and there are too many pictures which distract you and confuse the readers.

The bold writing saying contents at the top right hand side of the page with the black box behind it works really well. But in comparison to Q using a banner in my opinion looks more attractive and more eye catching.

I like the neutral white background they have chosen as it doesn’t distract any attention away from the pictures.

The sub headings down the right hand side of the page work really well as they stand out yet the pictures still dominate the page.

On the other hand the pictures are a good technique to use as they seem to show a very harsh aggressive attitude emphasising Kerrang’s rock like attitude.
