Specific Contents Research


This is one way I am considering laying out my contents page as I feel that it gives it an interesting indie look, which is the look I am going for my magazine. It also has a clear picture of the artist. In addition, it contains all of the information needed to know what is in the magazine that would interest the reader. It also has the numbers of the pages next to the writing to show what page it is on. It would attract the target the target audience as it contain pictures of artists that are of their generation. In addition, the colours seem to be quite dim which shows that is not for young people.
However, in some ways I do not really feel that this music magazine contents page is appropriate for a music magazine due the title looking a bit confusing to read as it is not in a straight like. In addition, the picture covers up too much of the page, which makes the writing too small to read. It also seems to be a bit dull which doesn’t grab the attention of the reader.


I would prefer to lay out my contents page like this as I feel it is the most appropriate for my target audience. In addition, the colours that have been used in this magazine are very similar to my magazine, which shows that the type of magazine seems to be quite similar. In addition, I like the way this contents page has been set out with a large picture, which is the main picture to the right of the writing, and a smaller picture at the bottom of the page. In addition, I like the way the writing has been laid out on the left side of the page going downwards with big writing for the main point and a small amount of little writing. It contains all of the numbers needed to show the reader where the articles are. The title of the contents page is also a lot easier to read than the previous magazine.

However, the only problem I have with this magazine is that I do not understand why they have a review at the bottom of the contents page as no other magazine has this. In addition, it seems to be a bit boring.
