2X contents page analysis

This is a contents page from Q magazine, there is a clear link between the colour scheme on the front cover of Q magazines and the contents page, the colour scheme is red, white and black. There is 2 photos on the contents page, one is bigger than the other which makes the reader assume that there is going to be a main story inside about them, this could make the reader want to read on and find out more. the contents page looks very formal which would suggest the audience is older. there is also a wide range of fonts which makes the contents look visually interesting to look at, also the different font sizes grabs the readers attention to what to look at.  because the text is more ordered it might make the contents look visually appealing to the older audience that it seems to be aiming for.

this is a contents page from kerrang magazine, its very different from the contents page from Q magazine, this is a different target audience, and there is allot more photographs. i like that there is allot of pictures on the contents page personally, because if i didn't recognise the band by name, i could recognise them by there picture and it might entice me to want to read on more. the colour scheme is white and black, which it quite common on the front cover and in music magazines, the yellow writing makes the contents page eye catching a bright. the fact that there is more pictures on the contents page can stereotypically suggest a younger audience. the niche audience for this magazine judging by the contents age is 16-25 year old. there is a varied use of font sizes and fonts which is more interesting to look at. the text is very easy to read and is easy on the eye. there is a fair few photos but because there is a photo much larger than the others you can tell immediately that that is the person on the front cover and there is going to be a main story about them.
