Contents page deconstructions 3/3

I have chosen to deconstruct this NME contents. The first thing that my attention is drew to the masthead. This is because It's a lot larger than any of the other writing and also a bolder font is used. also the red for the name of the magazine makes it stand out more this an element most music magazines use. Unlike the other 2 magazines this one does not feature a logo, this may because the masthead is easily recognisable so there would be no need for a logo, as they don't need to keep reminding the audience of the magazine. The layout of this contents page is organised well as everything is easily navigated for example the different features of the magazine eg 'news' 'radar' etc... Are all in a different colour with a black box so it stands out and instantly your eyes are drawn to it. The colour use is still minimal which helps with the organised feel of it which is something I will use when creating my magazine. This contents features one main image at the top of the page which is a main convention. However most magazines contain more than one image on the contents page and this magazine does not. I think the layout looks more professional if you use atleast two photos so the audience can visually see who they will be reading about in this magazine. The page numbers for this magazine are in a different colour so it's easy to find, I like the idea of this being easily to navigate so I'm going to try to use this. Finally, this magazine uses a convention most magazines don't have. It makes the audience be interested by stating if they subscribe, they can get the magazine for less. A drop in the price will get more customers.
