contents page annotation


This is a contents page from the magazine Kerrang! The biggest picture on the page is the girl that is on the cover of the magazine and is on of the main features, having the biggest picture shows the reader that she will be feauted frequently in the magazine, Kerrang! uses the stars on the pictures to show what page they are so the reader doesn't have to search through the magazine or contents page if they wanted to go straight to the main feature. They have a section on the bottom of the page for the editor which not alot of magzines have, he talks briefly about things that are featured in the magazine and some of his favourite things in the issue. They have all the contact information on the contents page aswell as the cover just in case people didn't notice it on the cover, this is used for fans of the magazine or bands mentioned in the issue to send in fan art or letters ect. They use subheadings in the contents so everything is under categories making it easier for the readers to find things.
I like the idea of using the stars on the pictures and think it could be good to use in my contents page, this cntents uses the same colour scheme that is used on the cover, I think sticking to the same to the same colours will help show its from the same issue of the magazine if the pages were seperated. Using catergories in the contents makes it easier for the reader to find certain things without having to search through the magazine of the contents.
