Magazine Analysis: Contents (2)


The magazine’s contents page uses a similar style to the cover of the magazine, that fact that the lettering still continues to use the yellow and black colours on the cover, continuing with the style throughout the magazine. The contents page also uses a blue banner with white and yellow writing, which symbolises the magazine isn't meant to be threatening or violent, as the blue and white have connotations of peace and relaxation.

The female member from the band featured on the cover is also featured heavily in the contents page, the fact that that her picture is the largest photo on the page. The photo of the girl is a medium shot and in the photo she is happy and smiling. Her hands are also out showing that she is not a threat and she is not aggressive or rude. This helps confirm that her and her band are the main focus of the magazine, and that they are not violent people. This also shows that the magazine is aimed at females who are also fans of rock and metal too, as the girl is the main focus on the contents page.

The content of the magazine are all laid out on the right hand side, and is clear and easy to read so that the audience of the magazine can find articles of their favourite bands featured more easily, giving them more variety and control over what they read.

On the opposite page, the magazine promotes pop punk music promos on their TV channel, advertising their music to a wider based audience and their music style which can be anything from punk, rock, metal, heavy metal genres which are covered by the magazine. A quote from the poster “Riot” does have connotations as violence and anger, which reinforces stereotypes of punk rockers.
