Title: The appearance of the contents title breaks the

normally trend of magazines as you would expect it to be

going across the top of the page and have a similar
appearance to the masthead. However this title is positioned
more to the right as opposed to left where the important
things are meant to be located and has a shrill like font
completely different to the mastheads. Although a few
conventions have been challenged here it still works I feel
the genre of the music being focused on gives the magazine
an excuse to be different and challenge the rules here. The
title is positioned in a circle and the dark background makes
the title stand out and the fact its being highlighted gives it
the dominance of the page.

Issue Number and Date: This is located at the top of

the page which is necessary as it is classed as general
and information. The issue number and date
encourages the reader to collect different issues
magazine so its important it is clearly displayed. To

Subheadings: All the subheadings are presented in the same

way above the article titles a sense of organisation and
avoids being overwhelmed. The headings themselves are
basic and usually one worded to aids the reader in
specifically finding what they want straight away.
Grab Quotes: Gives extra information to each page title,
giving the reader more of a reason to go onto the allocated
page. The font and text size is smaller and subordinate to its
title to denote that its not vital to read it but its a bonus to
the viewer.
Colour Scheme: Follows the same colour scheme of red,
yellow, black and white. However there is a difference in the
balance of colour as opposed to all being used equally the
focus is more on black and white as theyre used for general
features and yellow and red are used on a minor scale to
highlight key elements. In the first two columns are get all
the colours in a section which demonstrates consistency.
Font: Like the cover page a variety of different font types
are being used on this page. Each font type shows the role of
each text e.g. the headings, the page number etc.. and the
text size also differs depending on the importance of the
content. The most contrasting font type on the page is the
contents title which is conventional as the title should
always stand out as its own thing.

Page numbers: The listed page numbers are in

chronological order and so theres an organised and
sensible approach applied here. The page numbers
with the images break the number order and have a
different font, size and colour to the others but this
is admirable as it highlights these pages are of more
interest than the others. The page numbers are
located on the left side of the columns, which
follows convention as the most important things
should stay to the left.

Main Image: A slight low angle shot of the Black veil brides. This
shot is taken from a performance the fact its taken whilst in
action makes the reader feel involved and like theyre there and
in particular reaches out to the target audience as concerts is a
desirable thing particularly to teens. There is no direct address
which is surprising for a main image as pressure and
involvement is conventional. However the fact that hes doing
something and the readers a witness still emits interaction
therefore the absence of direct address is acceptable. The icon
is followed by a caption which is quite comical towards the
position of Andy. Also the page number on the image is
abnormally large which indicates that this is a main story and
persuades the reader to go to the allocated page.
Supplement Images: All these shots are medium close up where
the facial expressions and their poses are focused on. The model
on page 44 is blowing blue dust towards where the page number
is this draws attention to the page number. Direct address isnt
used here which is acceptable. The image for page 24 is a shot of
two people, direct address is applied although isnt intense due to
them wearing sunglasses. This links with a fun, carefree tone as
they are creating a mess and dont seem to care about the
abnormality of wearing sunglasses indoors. The final image is
unusual as it is an image of the editor as he gives a personal
message through the editorial the tone here is quirky as he is
being embraced by a python however this adds to the strange,
fun tone being applied by the magazine. All the images are slightly
bordered to follow convention and define the boundaries.
Layout: The contents page has followed rule of thirds. The
columns and rows of the thirds can be clearly identified although
theyre not exactly equal but its still effective. The last column is
different in contrast with the others as the image, editorial and
another section of text. Theres a great deal of bordering,
outlining and use of shapes to defines each section of the
contents page to give a professional, easy to follow look of this
page. Generally the whole page is packed with different elements
which intrigue the audience with the amount portrayed here.
The layout is so structured and detailed that is could be the
house style throughout all issues creating its brand identity.
