Contents magazine one.

This content magazine is an issue from NME. They have brought the masthead style into the content page so both front cover and content page match. The content page is spilt up into squares and rectangular sections, making it easier to read. They have spilt the articles into sections which are in bold the sections are ‘news’ ‘radar’ ‘reviews’ and ‘features’. This makes it easier for the reader to see where things are in the magazine. On the left hand side there is a band index which is in a black bold font with red writing which fits in with the colour scheme. The band index is good as most of the NME readers like to hear about new upcoming bands. The content page is titled ‘NME this week’ this makes it more informal and nicer for the reader to read. They have again incorporated the colour scheme into the tile of the contents page. The colour scheme of this issue is red, black, white and yellow; using only the four colours makes it less confusing for the human eye and using these four colours all the time creates a familiarisation so the reader is automatically draw in. The subscription information is in yellow making it stand out on the bottom of the page and drawing people to it, and because it is advertising for the NME it’s the most important part of the contents page. The main head line takes up most of the page with a large picture showing what the article is about. The head line also has a bold big font making it the main focal point to the page, using a red colour for the page number shows the reader where the article is so they can flick to it straight away. At the bottom of the page there is also an arrow encouraging the reader to turn over the page and read the rest of the magazine.
