This is an example of a contents page from a magazine Blender. As we can see the page looks very simple with one long shot picture showing Katy Perry and little text. Mainly audiences are teenagers and young adults which doesn't like to source for lots of information from contents page, just checking main titles, so editors decided to write little titles with less information. Katy looks very small comparing to a mushroom, which makes the photo looks nice and intresting. Colours presented on the page are white, red, pink and blue. In the top right corner there is a date of printing the magazine. Attraction in the magazine is Katy Perry which is a role model for many women and her dress looks sexy for men.
The contents page of NME magazine looks different to Blender one. It looks very busy as there are more pictures and lots of texts, covering main titles and information. Magazine mostly focused on Indie music which features music news, reviews, interviews and etc. Two large photos draw the reader to read the main headline which is highlighted with bigger font. Both pictures have been taken for low angles and probably from seats next to stages. As I already said the page looks busy with texts standing next to each other. The colour scheme; black, pink and white. The audience are both sex 16-26. The subheadings are also quite bold which makes it easy for readers to find what they are looking for without reading all texts. Also the magazine gives a discount for subscribing.
I have analyzed two contents pages of different magazines. They are similar in two ways they both are about music and the range of audience are men and women 16 to 26.
The differences are the amounts of staff represented on pages. The first contents page with Kety Perry is very simple; only one long shot photo of the pop star and the amount of texts is very small. But the second one looks very busy with a lot of texts and different photos.
